Originally, Chinese had traded silver in mass (see sycee) and when Spanish and Mexican silver coins arrived, the Chinese called them 銀圓 (silver round) for their circular shapes, The coins and the name also appeared in Japan. Later, the Chinese replaced with which has the same pronunciation in Mandarin (but not in Japanese).

Schlaf Kindlein, Schlaf

by: Jbo

Geh' ins Bett, kleiner Depp,
Mach schon, komm, sei nett,
Denn es ist schon so spaet!
Mach's Licht aus, komm, sei brav
Und geniesse den Schlaf,
Den das Sandmaennchen saet!
Schlaf mit ein'm Aug' offen,
Und halt' dei' Kissen fest!
Schlaf Kindlein, schlaf,
Dei' Mutter is' a Schaf,
Dein Vater ist in Pommerland,
Und Pommerland ist abgebrannt.
Traeum' von Pariser Bier
Und von Ungetier,
Und von Emanzipation,
Traeum von Heinz, sowieso,
Und von J.B.O.
Das ist schrecklich mein Sohn!
Schlaf mit ei'm Aug' offen,
Und halt' dei' Nilschwein fest!
Chorus
Lieber Gott, mach mich fromm,
Dass ich in den Himmel komm!
Komm, kleiner Depp, schlaf endlich ein
Und hoer' auf so rumzuschrei'n,
Sonst schmeissen wir dich auf den Dung-
Postnatale Abtreibung!
Schlaf Kindlein, schlaf,
Dei' Mutter is' a Schaf
Pommerland,
Und Pommerland ist abgebrannt.
Schlaf Kindlein, schlaf,
Dei' Vater f(piep)t a Schaf,
Pommerland,
Und Pommerland ist abgebrannt.
