Mille cherubini in coro
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG GER
Mille cherubini in coro
ti sorridono dal ciel.
Una dolce canzone
t'accarezza il crin.
Una man ti guida lieve
fra le nuvole d'or,
sognando e vegliando
su te, mio tesor,
proteggendo il tuo cammin.
Dormi, dormi,
sogna, piccolo amor mio.
Dormi, sogna,
posa il capo sul mio cor.
Chiudi gli occhi,
ascolta gli angioletti,
dormi, dormi,
sogna, piccolo amor.
Chiudi gli occhi,
ascolta gli angioletti,
dormi, dormi,
sogna, piccolo amor.
Note: Melichar's setting of this text is an arrangement of a melody by Schubert whose text can be found here.

Thousand cherubim in chorus
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Thousand cherubim in chorus
smile on you from heavens high.
Sweet the tune that caresses
delicately your face.
Tenderly a hand is guiding
you through clouds shining gold,
it’s dreaming and keeping watch
over you, precious child,
and protecting your path through life.
Slumber, slumber,
dream my lovely little baby.
Dream and slumber
rest your head on mother’s heart.
Just close your eyes now,
hark to the little angels,
slumber, slumber,
dream my pretty little love.
Just close your eyes now,
hark to the little angels,
slumber, slumber,
dream my pretty little love.
