#TodayILearned that "the litte boy who lived down the lane" originally didn't get a bag of wool:
«Bah, Bah, a black Sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes old mate i have
Three bags full,
Two for my master,
One for my dame,
None for the little boy
That cries in the lane.»

It's fascinating to hear #childrensSongs translated in various other languages.
Having tried doing my own #Dutch and #Norwegian versions of #lullabies I know for #BeardGrabber, I bet most of those #translations were made by expats or mixed culture couples for their own kids. -
Example, this #SingSang #ShuffleBook with #lullabies and other #childrensSongs: https://mastodon.social/media/j69r1RO5QSDDHohpMzs
It had nice drawings and lyrics to various songs, but for the 'gratis soundfiles', you have to visit a website, www.singsang.com, which of course is no longer available: https://mastodon.social/media/KjMmbe6HJKPtp7xGp6U
This product is ©2014, and while I bought it #secondHand (and was already expecting the website to be dead), it's still being sold full-price in retail stores.

Got a #Norwegian #childrensSongs book with buttons for various sound effects for our #1yo #BeardGrabber the other day (along with a book on brushing teeth and tying shoelaces, which will be for later), but unfortunately it assumes you know the melody to all these songs.
Since I'm #Dutch, and thus haven't grown up with any of these, I ended up looking them up on #YouTube. Two of them are just translations of ones I know from Dutch and/or #English, one uses unrelated lyrics to - 1/2
