Newborn babies smell of milk Aria of the nurse

Îðèãèíàëüíàÿ Áàíàëüíîñòü
Newborn babies smell of milk
And their short curly hair at the back of the head
Should smell of Chinese silk
Believe me, monsieur, I have no doubts about that

And their soft belly buttons
Smell of candies or ca_ra_mel I must say
- But my dear, do you know the smell of bonbons?
I dare think, I’m sure of this anyway!

And this… thing… can’t call it a baby, sir!
I’m not keeping it! Not any minute more!
It keeps unusually quite, and doesn’t stir!
But it eats like a grown-up boar!

Its skin is sleek and cold like a toad!
And its nostrils are restlessly moving!
And sir! You must see - I am joking not!
And I don’t feel at all like fooling!

If it’s a baby, I know whom its father is, monsieur!
As the most wrong thing’s that it doesn’t smell!
This bustard’s from Hell! I’m getting rid of it well!
Take it and leave its fate to Grand Dieu!
