Wiegenlied für das Püppchen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Schlafe mein Püppchen, schlafe, Sonne ging zur Ruh' Und der Tag macht leise Seine Augen zu. Su, su, su, su, su, su, su, Schlafe mein Püppchen, schlaf' ein; Su, su, su, su, su, su, su, su, su, su, su. Schlafe mein Püppchen, schlafe, Draussen heult der Wind Und im Schnee begraben Alle Strassen sind. Von dem Kirchenthurme Schlägt die Uhr schon sieben, Balde werd' ich selber In das Bett getrieben. Su, su, su, su, su, su, su, Schlafe mein Püppchen, schlaf' ein; Su, su, su, su, su, su, su, su, su, su, su.

Dolly's lullaby
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Sleep now my dolly, sleep. See the sun is gone, And from Heav'n the darkness Softly's falling down. So, so, so, so, so, so, so, Sleep now my dolly, sleep sweet, So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so. Sleep my dolly, sleep. Hear the bad wind blow. All the streets are buried Under heaps of snow. Sev'n the clock is striking From the old church steeple, Time to tuck in bed safe, All good little people. So, so, so, so, so, so, so, Dolly, oh please go to sleep. So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so.
