“Lambs, lambs, how come
you’re pure white?”
“We were born when the snow had fallen,
so we have to be pure white”
“Little goats, little goats, how come
you’re light blue like offering scarves?”
“We were born in the clear morning,
so we have to be light blue”
“Calves, calves,
how come you’re light red?”
“We were born in the rising sun,
so we have to be light red”
“Foals, foals, how come
you’re velvety black?”
“We were born at dead of night,
so we have to be black”
“Little camels, little camels,
how come you’re golden yellow?”
“We were born in the yellow Gobi,
so we have to be yellow”
