Lenta la neve fiocca, fiocca, fiocca. Senti: una zana dondola pian piano. Un bimbo piange, il piccol dito in bocca. Canta una vecchia, il mento sulla mano. La vecchia canta: intorno al tuo lettino C'è rose e gigli come un bel giardino. Nel bel giardino il bimbo s'addormenta, Fiocca la neve lenta, lenta, lenta.
