Original lyrics
German
Translation
English
Schlaf ein
Fall asleep
When you children are tired
Father Sleep is speaking a message to you
He is coming down from the shadow roof of the trees
Is fetching you to his land of dreams
When you feel exhausted and sleepy
He has already enveloped you gently
Now is the time to do nothing anymore
To rest mind and body
Deep in the woods, you cannot see anything
Your heart is feeling heavy
Oh, little hearts, heavy
And tears are running, many
No blood can be seen
You have to go to sleep now
Dear child, you must not cry
It is only wetting the ground
The sun is going to shine tomorrow
Is licking the tears off your white cheeks
When the day is coming to an end
The last light is standing before the darkness
You must not be sad
The sun is going to shine tomorrow
Fall asleep
And when the cold night is over
Sleep is releasing you again
Gently opens your heavy eyelids
And, God willing, we will see each other again
