by Franz Theodor Kugler (1808 - 1858)

Wiegenlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Lieg still in deiner Wiege,
   summ, summ ...
sonst kommt die schwarze Fliege;
will's Kindlein nicht verstummen,
so fängt sie an zu brummen,
   brumm, brumm!

Sie hat sechs lange Beine,
   summ, summ ...
damit läuft sie gar feine;
sie hat 'nen breiten Rüssel,
damit beißt sie ein bissel,
   brumm, brumm!

Die Kinder, die nicht schlafen,
   summ, summ ...
die weiß sie zu bestrafen;
d'rum fürchte du die Fliege,
lieg still und schlaf in deiner Wiege,
   brumm, brumm!
