I well remember Au clair de la lune and Frère Jacques from my school days, but our words in English were:
Brother James, Brother James,
Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping?
Ring the bells for Matins. Ring the bells for Matins.
Ding, ding, dong. Ding, ding, dong.

I did not know the story of the Mother Goose, i am from Chile and my mother used to sing this to me when i was a child
ESP: LOS POLLITOS
Los pollitos dicen
pío, pío, pío
cuando tienen hambre,
cuando tienen frío.
La gallina busca
el maíz y el trigo
les da la comida
y les presta abrigo.
Bajo sus dos alas,
acurrucaditos
duermen los pollitos
Hasta el otro día!
ENG: THE CHICKIES
The little chickies say
peep, peep, peep
when they are hungry
when they are cold.
The mother hen looks
for corn and wheat
she gives them food
and grants them shelter.
Under mama’s wings, huddling up,
Sleep the little chicks until the next day!
