Magda Umer - Już gwiazdy lśnią

The stars are shining already
The children are already asleep
A sleep overwhelmed your doll
So fold your head
And close your eyes
I'll tell you a fairy tale

There was a king
There was a page
And there was also a princess
They lived among the roses
They knew no storms
It is absolutely certain

The king loved her
The page loved her
They loved her together
And she loved them too
All three of them loved each other

But a terrible fate
A cruel death
It fell to them
The king was eaten by a dog
The page was eaten by the cat
And the mouse ate the princess

But listen,
Do not be so sad
My sweet child
The king was of sugar
Of gingerbread was the page
And of marzipan was the princess
