VIOLET ON THE MOUNTAIN<br />
Lullaby<br />
The violet and the rose, nana,<br />
O violet naninao,<br />
The lords have honored us with their coming,<br />
O rose naninao!<br />
They came to us and made us glad,<br />
O violet naninao,<br />
Their father’s sister has come here too,<br />
O violet naninao.<br />
We will rollout a carpet for her,<br />
O rose naninao.<br />
We do not think that fine enough,<br />
O violet naninao.<br />
We’ll set a plush rug over it,<br />
O rose naninao.<br />
Here is the mother of the lords,<br />
O violet naninao.<br />
She stands by a cradle made of gold,<br />
O rose naninao.<br />
Inside the cradle a lordling sleeps,<br />
O violet naninao.<br />
They have hair the color of gold,<br />
O rose naninao.<br />
A satin blanket lies over them,<br />
O violet naninao.<br />
Adorned with gold and silver brocade,<br />
O rose naninao.<br />
They are all wearing shirts of silk,<br />
O violet naninao.<br />
Girdled around with the crescent moon,<br />
O rose naninao.<br />
For their buttons they have the stars,<br />
O violet naninao.<br />
Strands of rubies around their necks,<br />
O rose naninao.<br />
Gently rocking back and forth,<br />
O violet naninao.<br />
Singing a tuneful lullaby,<br />
O rose naninao.<br />
