(Mama! Mama! I’ve seen a butterfly

I’ve seen it in the sky fly.

Mama the butterfly is bright,

see how it’s white.

Stop lying on the mat

get up and see a butterfly bright.

I’ve seen many butterflies

and all of them shine.

They all shine under the sun.

Mama! I’ve seen a butterfly clean

also seen another one pretty,

I want to be as beautiful

as those butterflies.

I’ll sit on the bare ground

and awe at that beauty.

Mama! Mama! I’ve seen a butterfly

in the sky fly.

I’ve seen a butterfly bright.)
