Lyrics of "Lullaby"
The moon is bright and the wind is quiet
The leaves cover the window lattice
The crickets chirp
It's like the sound of the strings
The sound of the piano is gentle and pleasant
The cradle swings gently
My baby closes his eyes
< p>Sleep, that one is sleeping in a dreamThe silver stars are flying in the night sky
Flying to that east is red
The little baby is sleeping
< p>Fly into spaceRide on the moon
Step on the star
Fly in the universe
My baby is ready Make great ambitions
Go and climb the peak of science
Mom, make great ambitions
Go and climb the peak of science
The silver stars in the night sky Fly
Fly to the red east
The baby is sleeping
Fly into space
Ride on the moon
p>
Step up to that star
Fly the universe
The alarm clock rings ding dong
It is still at night
The little baby will grow up soon
You will make great contributions to mankind
The moon is so bright
The wind is so quiet
The cradle swings lightly< /p>
My mother’s baby is sleeping in her sleep
Smiling slightly
