Schlaf', mein Kindchen, in süsser Ruh,

Little lullaby for a German girl from Capri

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Sleep, my child, in sweet peace,
Close your little blue eyes,
Even upon this distant isle here
God's heaven arches over you in blueness.
Sleep until the day awakens,
My child, good night!
