Lyrics
English
The sun that shines all day so bright,
I wonder where it goes at night.
It sinks behind a distant hill
And all the world grows dark and still.
And then I go to bed and sleep
Until the day begins to peep.
And when my eyes open,
I see the Sun is
shining down on me.
I wonder where it goes at night.
It sinks behind a distant hill
And all the world grows dark and still.
And then I go to bed and sleep
Until the day begins to peep.
And when my eyes open,
I see the Sun is
shining down on me.

The child then goes to bed and sleeps until the new day begins. When the child opens their eyes, the sun is shining again. The poem gently describes the cycle of sunset, sleep, sunrise, and the beginning of a new day.
