| At Wojtuś*, from an ashtray A little spark is winking Come, I'll tell you a story and the story will be long... Once there was a princess who fell in love with a musician The king gave them a wedding And the story is finished Once there was a Baba-Yaga** She had a cottage made of butter And in the cottage there were wonders Pst! And the spark went out... At Wojtuś, from an ashtray A little spark is winking Come, I'll tell you a story and the story will be long... Explanations: * Wojtuś - a boy's name, this lullaby is actually for him ("Come, I'll tell you a story") ** Baba Yaga - Witch, when we talk with kids about witches, they are called Baba Yaga's
