I need some help figuring this one out…

Anyone able to help me out with the language/context on this one?

In random appropriation

Sounds like ‘rockabye baby’… definately a fail lullaby if there ever was one. Maybe someone took that and made a joke in Ojibwe, and it made the blog as serious? That would be my guess… an appropriation in the reverse, of rockabye baby…
Yiwah

It’s Ojibwe, but the translation is a little misleading:

Hush baby,
Sleep,
Don’t cry,
Or perhaps a bear (there’s no ‘naked’ involved)
will eat you.

No worse than the lyrics to rock-a-bye baby and its falling babies.

I think the “fail” lies in the fact that the word “naked” is even in there.
