Sorry,  Jara-- I cannot understand any of it.  Why on earth don't you choose another listening exercise?

I´d like to identify that song (nostalgia)- don´t know anything about it. Maybe any words could help me. Sorry

I recognise it - but mostly by the tune and the chorus (which has the only vaguely distinguishable lyrics!). It sounds as though it is being sung by someone Japanese/Chinese without the ability to make all English sounds, so it's not very clear.

It's a Christmas carol sung by children - quite common in schools here.

Little Jesus, Sweetly Sleep

Little Jesus, sweetly sleep, do not stir;
We will lend a coat of fur,
We will rock you, rock you, rock you,
We will rock you, rock you, rock you:
See the fur to keep you warm,
Snugly round your tiny form.

Mary's little baby, sleep, sweetly sleep,
Sleep in comfort, slumber deep;
We will rock you, rock you, rock you,
We will rock you, rock you, rock you:
We will serve you all we can,
Darling, darling little man.
