Kind of reminds me of my friend. He told his son that his mom used to be a boy, but one day she was naughty and her pee pee got cut off, and that’s how she became a girl.
Wife’s parents always told her brother if you play with it to much you will go blind. When he was 9 went to eye doctor and had to get glasses, he cried and refused to touch it even to go the bathroom for awhile.
Anyway, more on the story. Me and a group of friends were at the museum that this is in, and beside it there was a bear in a canoe(sp?). We all were sitting in the canoe with the bear, then we noticed the sign. We didn’t feel comfortable with the bear anymore.
I’ve been there hundreds of times! It’s at the Explore Manitoba museum in Winnipeg, Canada. Last time I was there, though, they got rid of the bear. The lullaby always freaked me out :O
Well, a typical threatening lullaby, a lot of lullabies are like this. They tell kids that they’ll fall to their death, that their parents died in war or that they’ll be pinned to the cradle with needles.
Doesn’t explain why the bear has to be naked though…
Rock-a-bye baby, on the treetop,
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock,
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall,
And down will come baby, cradle and all.
i’ve heard it in a little bit nicer way
Rock-a-bye baby, on the treetop
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
Till the dawn breaks, may light from above
Shine down upon baby, cradled in love
I dunno, I kind of like that most lullabies and nursery rhymes are terrifying. It kind of jades your kids to scary things a little, if they get it, and if they don’t, it gives them something to go “Hey, waitaminute” about when they’re older.
Doesn’t have to be a lullaby. What about parents who say.. if you don’t go to sleep the boogey man will come and get you. Guaranteed to make the kid stay awake with a baseball bat in hand waiting for boogeyman (aka Dad) to come up and ask why is the kid still awaaaa… *bop*
you use a pedophile bear to poke fun at how “uptight” americans are about sex? so your country, as it is not “uptight”, has sex with children? excellent point.
I asked my wife, who speaks the language. She said it’s ALMOST right, but the bit about the bear being naked is a screwed up translation. It says ‘a bear might eat you’, as gemaa isn’t naked but rather is equivalent to ‘maybe’, denoting something that might happen.
Literal translation:
Ma: Hey!
Abinoojiiens: Little baby
Nibaan: Sleep
Gigo Mawiken: Do not cry
Gemaa Makwa: Maybe a bear
Giga Amog: Will eat you
I speak and teach Ojibwe, and the translation of this is wrong. “Gemaa” means “or/maybe/perhaps” and “makwa” means “bear.” The song is Hey little baby sleep; don’t cry; perhaps a bear will eat you.
Still creepy, but no pedophile bears in this song.
I think the lullaby used to make sense when the Ojibwe people lived in the wilderness. A crying baby could attract a hungry bear. I don’t think I would sing that song to my baby even in that situation, but it can’t be any worse than Rock A Bye Baby when the bough breaks and the baby and cradle go crashing down. I always substitute the last line with “and I will catch baby, cradle and all.”
The lullaby is mostly correct – but ‘gemaa’ is not a pedophile or naked bear. ‘gemaa is an adverb that refers to something that might happen in the future.
gemaa makwa, giga amog.
is like saying that maybe the bear will eat you.
Oh no!
OH YEAH!
Dammit, stop saying “Oh no!” in my courtroom, or the Cool-aid Man is going to keep crashing through my wall!
**Cool-aid man slowly backs out of the hole in the wall he just made.**
Um, it’s Kool-Aid.
Cool-aid is his lesser known cousin. He has a thing for courtrooms.
Pedo coolaid man?
I failed with that comment… Oh noooooo.
Ohhhh yessss…
WIN!! I would definatly sing this to muh future childrens in 10 years.
Me2!
yeah?
so your children will put up your video(singing the lullaby) on youtube with a big ‘fail’ in the corner?
Never threaten your children with naked bears, you terrible human being.
Happens too often, sadly!
Geez, doesn’t sound like such a Great Land to me….
Sounds like something my dad would have sung. Until my mother heard it.
Kind of reminds me of my friend. He told his son that his mom used to be a boy, but one day she was naughty and her pee pee got cut off, and that’s how she became a girl.
That kid must have been VERRY confused when he got just a bit older!!!
Eh, he’s still only four. But has a baby sister, that may have cleared a few things up…
Wife’s parents always told her brother if you play with it to much you will go blind. When he was 9 went to eye doctor and had to get glasses, he cried and refused to touch it even to go the bathroom for awhile.
Willy be ok?
Why would you tell a kid something so blantentlly false.
I finally understand my fear of bears
Yay 5th
pedobears rule!
Of course they do, Jake
he will eat you anyway if you’re under 10
I cant bear seeing children hurt in any way.
i see what you did there
I knew someone would!!!
Children should be seen, and not hurt
7th comment!
I love pedobear!!!! This is his lullaby!!!
…not funny. quite silly really.
this “Pedo” thing is out of hand now.
Yeah. I hear that some people even use a ‘pedometer’ when they go walking!
yeah, its true.
but that i believe is derrived from “Pedestrian” and “”Pedal”, as in Bi-Pedal, which is a reference to limbs/legs.
kinda-sorta different to being touched by an Angel, i mean naked bear.
Aren’t bears usually naked anyway?
Yogi Bear wears a tie, Pooh wears a shirt and the Care Bears wear rainbows.
Smokey wears a ranger’s outfit!
Paddington wears a raincoat, I think.
My childhood teddy, Bananas, wears a sweater.
Mine, Timothy, wore a scarf.
Teddy Ruxpin wore a sweater, but he was Satan’s Spawn and not really a bear…
CREEPY BEAR!!!
But Pedobear wears a smile . . .
And a classy mustache…
Corduroy wears overalls!
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t fuzzy, was he?
This brings backs the bad memories of the scary dentist bear.
First!
Fail!
Very much so.
epic
You people don’t seem to understand how pedobear works.
1) He only goes after girls 12 and under.
2) He doesn’t eat children, though he may eat them out.
That is all.
But 13 is still Pedo, then who goes after them?
Jailbait Lion, I assume.
I’d be more worried if it was a clothed bear.
Unless of course, it was from Peru, and liked Marmalade.
Why would a bear wear clothes? :l
Naked is referring to fur-less and its come to take your hair and wear it, hence black bear.
baby is pronounced “bin/no/gees/.
Whoever writes the titles needs to follow rules 1 and 2, otherwise he/she will be shot in the balls on site.
Okay, “she” doesn’t have balls, but you get my point.
OHSHI- I left my child awake in the car
Something tells me this is wrong…
It is wrong. It doesn’t translate into anything. It’s fake.
Umm, no, it translates right. (See 5 eagle’s post ^^^^^^)
Yeah, it’s an actual song. You can’t just type it into a translator though and expect it to work. anishinabe is a pretty tough language.
Totally made my day!
absolutely hilarious!
Oh my gosh!!! I saw that sign in person. I have a picture of it on my camera! 0.o
Makes me feel special.
I don’t know why.
Anyway, more on the story. Me and a group of friends were at the museum that this is in, and beside it there was a bear in a canoe(sp?). We all were sitting in the canoe with the bear, then we noticed the sign. We didn’t feel comfortable with the bear anymore.
I’ve been there hundreds of times! It’s at the Explore Manitoba museum in Winnipeg, Canada. Last time I was there, though, they got rid of the bear. The lullaby always freaked me out :O
they probably got rid of the bear b/c he was a pedobear and frightening little children who could read…
Well, a typical threatening lullaby, a lot of lullabies are like this. They tell kids that they’ll fall to their death, that their parents died in war or that they’ll be pinned to the cradle with needles.
Doesn’t explain why the bear has to be naked though…
Rock-a-bye baby, on the treetop,
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock,
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall,
And down will come baby, cradle and all.
Maybe that’s why I’m afraid of heights.
Awww…no worries, sweets. Here, let me tell you a fairy tale to make you feel better.
It’s about two children whose parents abandon them in the woods and they get captured by a witch and nearly cooked and eaten.
i’ve heard it in a little bit nicer way
Rock-a-bye baby, on the treetop
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
Till the dawn breaks, may light from above
Shine down upon baby, cradled in love
Yeah, i changed the lullabies when i sang them to my kids, to take out the scary threatening bits.
I dunno, I kind of like that most lullabies and nursery rhymes are terrifying. It kind of jades your kids to scary things a little, if they get it, and if they don’t, it gives them something to go “Hey, waitaminute” about when they’re older.
It’s raining, it’s pouring, the old man is snoring;
He went to bed and bumped his head and didn’t get up in the morning.
BECAUSE HE HAD A CONCUSSION AND DIED IN HIS SLEEP.
O.o
Doesn’t have to be a lullaby. What about parents who say.. if you don’t go to sleep the boogey man will come and get you. Guaranteed to make the kid stay awake with a baseball bat in hand waiting for boogeyman (aka Dad) to come up and ask why is the kid still awaaaa… *bop*
that bear is such a pervert that he doesn’t wear clothes… like… the other… bears…
What is with this sites fascination with pedophiles? Do you think because you associate it with a bear, that it is somehow cute?
For your information, we use Pedobar as a way to mock pedophiles and poke fun at how uptight americans are about sex.
Lighten up, will you?
you use a pedophile bear to poke fun at how “uptight” americans are about sex? so your country, as it is not “uptight”, has sex with children? excellent point.

Awesome lol
That’s exactly what I was thinking when I read this fail. PEDOBEAR!!!!!
OMFG!
Well, technically all bears are naked.
belongs on Engrish
Hang on, is he going to eat you in the good kind of way? Nevermind I’m not pedobear’s type. . . old.
Reminds me of the Bible quote when God sent the bears to eat the kids for calling one of his prophets “baldy”.

Oh shi- *runs to another state*
Don’t worry, you’re probably too old anyways.
I am 12 so yes i will be running O_O
I nearly died when I read your comment, Lucy XD I’m 12 too! *runs to Alaska*
Anybody else sing the left side to the opening chorus of lion king?
I did!
I asked my wife, who speaks the language. She said it’s ALMOST right, but the bit about the bear being naked is a screwed up translation. It says ‘a bear might eat you’, as gemaa isn’t naked but rather is equivalent to ‘maybe’, denoting something that might happen.
Literal translation:
Ma: Hey!
Abinoojiiens: Little baby
Nibaan: Sleep
Gigo Mawiken: Do not cry
Gemaa Makwa: Maybe a bear
Giga Amog: Will eat you
Yep. That’s a comforting lullabye.
love this been listening to it fr ages now!!!
this just made me want to visit wherever the sign is located. what other twisted lullbyes can i hear about?
Cant sleep….naked bear will eat me…
Cant sleep….naked bear will eat me….
I saw a bear without fur. It is a scary sight. The authors of this lullaby know their business.
Merci pour le partage. un site a été conçu félicitations très belle.
Merci pour le partage. un site a été conçu félicitations très belle..
anyon here speak ojibwa and can tell me if thats realy what it translates to?
Um, scroll up. There are several commenters that do speak Aanishinaabe.
FRIST! not! FUNNY!
Second, learn how to spell first!
Have a nice Teddy Bears Picnic. *The Teddy Bear is a real bear and devours all of the food and beverages, and then romps off into the wild.*
Teddy Ruxpin is a total pedo!
sagdvfhdawgfj.
That’s in a museum in my city !!
I’ve seen that before !
Haha!
I laughed so hard when I saw it.
I speak and teach Ojibwe, and the translation of this is wrong. “Gemaa” means “or/maybe/perhaps” and “makwa” means “bear.” The song is Hey little baby sleep; don’t cry; perhaps a bear will eat you.
Still creepy, but no pedophile bears in this song.
Aha, so this is a translation fail worthy of Engrish.com or HanziSmatter.com, if they dealt with Ojibwe…
I think the lullaby used to make sense when the Ojibwe people lived in the wilderness. A crying baby could attract a hungry bear. I don’t think I would sing that song to my baby even in that situation, but it can’t be any worse than Rock A Bye Baby when the bough breaks and the baby and cradle go crashing down. I always substitute the last line with “and I will catch baby, cradle and all.”
So much win… I feel like crying. Pedobear is my hero. :.D
Total mistranslation.
Gemaa means “Great” or “Leader” I know this because I’m a Ojibwe native myself.
But that’s just awesome!
stop joking the naked bear threat is tottaly real
I’d cry even more!
shtaa taa haa. . .
it’s definitely an error in translation. That’s what happens when zhaaganaash try to be experts on another peoples language.
@ aanzhen: gemaa is an adverb meaning “or else/otherwise” (like Tara said); whereas, o’gimaa (as you said) is a leader.
I guess it is pretty damn funny, though.
baamaapii
Thanks! So what does the lullaby actually say?
The lullaby is mostly correct – but ‘gemaa’ is not a pedophile or naked bear. ‘gemaa is an adverb that refers to something that might happen in the future.
gemaa makwa, giga amog.
is like saying that maybe the bear will eat you.
There is 1 russian lulla
I bet you it’s a translation fail from the Ojibwa
Its a win because…even the American Indians now know the power of pedobear….
it’s a translation fail
I’d say that’s beyond Win actually
Pedobear does not eat only rapes the bad little children.
Blackmail! I don’t want to sleep, but if I don’t, pedobear will eat me!
Yea, thatl put put tha kids 2 sleep
We need more lullaby’s like this. pure awesomeness
