Don't lie little child

Karolina Marszałkowska 1993 (Gdańsk)

Don't lie, don't lie little child
 For lies always lose their way
 For they always will resurface
 From the sea of words you made

 Don't lie, don't lie little child
 Lying won't take you anywhere
 For it will hurt for many years
 And you can't say its just unfair

 Don't lie , don't lie please my child
 Say the truth and I'll forgive
 Every mischief of your doing
 It's better than to drawn in grief

 Don't lie ,child -you mother asks
 So tired after day of work
 I'll always know when you lie
 So don't lie child , don't lie
