Little Lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee?
Gave thee life, and bade thee feed,
By the stream and o'er the mead;
Gave thee clothing of delight,
Softest clothing woolly, bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice,
Making all the vales rejoice?
Little Lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee?
Little Lamb, I'll tell thee,
Little Lamb, I'll tell thee:
He is callèd by thy name,
For He calls Himself a Lamb.
He is meek, and He is mild:
He became a little child.
I a child, and thou a lamb,
We are callèd by His name.
Little Lamb, God bless thee!
Little Lamb, God bless thee!

Petit anyell, qui t’ha creat?
Saps qui et va crear?
Qui et donà la vida i t’oferí aliment,
prop del riu i arreu a les prades;
et donà un vestit de delícia,
un abrigall flonjo de llana, blanc lluminós;
qui et donà una veu tan tendre
que alegra totes les valls?
Petit anyell, qui t’ha creat?
Saps qui et va crear?
Petit anyell, jo t’ho diré,
petit anyell, jo t’ho diré:
ell s’anomena amb el teu nom
car també es fa dir anyell.
Ell és dòcil i ell és benèvol,
ell esdevingué un petit infant.
Jo un infant i tu un anyell,
a tots dos se’ns crida pel Seu nom.
Petit anyell, que Déu et beneeixi!
Petit anyell, que Déu et beneeixi!
