Merged: Searching for Polish folk song/lullaby - song about a queen, king, etc. made of sweets

Hi there -

My grandparents were born in Poland and were both captured by the Soviets in World War II. They immigrated here with my mother and my aunt in 1957. They spoke Polish, but we were never taught Polish at home, except for a few words and songs.

Now that I'm almost 30 and have a baby on the way, I am seeking to recapture my heritage and connect with it. I'd really love to find a particular song that I loved when I was a child - a lullaby that my mother used to sing to me.

I remember the tune, but I never knew the words. I remember asking what it meant, and my mother explaining that it was about a little queen and king, and maybe a princess or prince in a beautiful castle. And then something comes along and eats them all up, but the song says don't cry or feel bad because they were all made of sweets - I remember that it was something like the king was made of sugar, the queen made of cake, and someone else made of marzipan. Of course, these are recollections from over 20 years ago, from a sleepy child. So it may not be exact.

I would love to know the words to this song so I can sing it to my own baby. The melody is beautiful and soothing, a little sad sounding. Does anyone know this song? I've searched for it online, but since I know so little, it's not very fruitful.

Thank you!

Megan
