Lyrics
(Norwegian folk song)
Lille kattepus hvor har du vært?
Jeg har vært hos mamman min.
Lille kattepus hva gjorde du der?
Jeg stjal melk fra mamman min.
Lille kattepus hva fikk du da?
Jeg fikk ris på halen min.
Lille kattepus hva sa du da?
Mjau, mjau, halen min!
English Translation - Little kitty
Little kitty where have you been?
I’ve been to my mom’s.
Little kitty what did you do there?
I stole milk from my mom.
Little kitty what did you get then?
I got rice on my tail.
Little kitty what did you say then?
Meow, meow, hold me!
