Ladybird

Ladybird, sit

on my hand, on my hand -

I will do you no harm.

No harm shall come to you;

I only wish to see your colorful wings:

your colorful wings are my joy.

Ladybird, fly away,

your house is burning, your children are crying

so much, so much.

The evil spider is spinning her web around them;

Ladybird, fly home,

your children are crying so.

Ladybird, fly

to the neighbor's children, to the neighbor's children,

They will do you no harm.

No harm will come to you:

they only wish to see your colorful wings,

and greet them both for me.
