Little Lamb, child of mine Let's go to the shore of the sea The little ant is at his door I'll give you my breast and bread Bernarda, Face of a leopard Magdalena Of a hyena Little lamb Baa! Baa! Baa! We'll go the palms at Bethlehem's gate You and I won't want to sleep A door will open on its own On the beach you and I Will hide in a hut of coral reef. Bernarda Face of a leopard Magdalena Of a hyena Little lamb, baa, baa We'll go the palms at Bethlehem's gate.
