1. Oh how sweet the little one and his mother
She gives him his pacifier in his mouth

2. When he drinks his pacifier he remains
Asking for the mattress to cuddle him

3. Oh how sweet the day she oils him
With his oil and with his balm

4. He has a lullaby on his forehead
From his despair his worries disappear

5. Oh how sweet he is when in his bed
The mosquito net stretched, what luck

6. And the net he sees from under it
And his legs on it curl up

7. This time this is blissful
Oh joy this newborn

8. Oh Lord of all people, oh sought out
Make his father and mother happy with him
