Draußen blinket in silbernem Schein
Language: German (Deutsch)
Draußen blinket in silbernem Schein
Schon der Mond mit den Sternelein,
Und der Tag ist wieder entflohn,
Blumen und Vögel sie schlafen schon.
Su su su!
Schlaf auch du!
Schlafe, mein Kindchen, in süßer Ruh!
Leid und Freude, Kummer und Qual
Ziehen noch über Berg und Tal,
Suchen Herberg' im Abendschein,
Schleichen in Haus und Herzen ein.
Su su su!
Schlaf auch du!
Schlafe, mein Kindchen, in süßer Ruh!
Kommt die Freude, wir lassen sie ein,
Leid und Kummer soll draußen sein.
Nur die Freude halte die Wacht
Fröhlich bei dir die lange Nacht!
Su su su!
Schlaf auch du!
Schlafe, mein Kindchen, in süßer Ruh!
Schleicht das Leid sich dennoch ein,
Heißt, mein Kindchen, dich weinen und schrei'n,
Eilt die Mutterliebe herzu,
Sitzt an der Wieg' und singet im Nu:
Su su su!
Schlaf auch du!
Schlafe, mein Kindchen, in süßer Ruh!

Slumber song
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Outdoors blinking with a silvery shining
Already appears the moon with the stars,
And the day has again flown by,
The flowers and the birds are already sleeping.
Su su su!
You sleep too!
Sleep, my little child, in sweet peace!
Sorrow and joy, grief and agony
Are still passing over hill and valley,
They are searching for a lodging place,
They creep into houses and hearts.
Su su su!
You sleep too!
Sleep, my little child, in sweet peace!
If joy comes, we will let in in,
Sorrow and grief shall remain outside.
Only joy may keep watch
Happily beside you throughout the long night!
Su su su!
You sleep too!
Sleep, my little child, in sweet peace!
Should sorrow creep in nevertheless
And bid you cry and scream, my little child,
Motherly love will hurry hence,
Will sit by the cradle and sing at once:
Su su su!
You sleep too!
Sleep, my little child, in sweet peace!
