Well' [um]2 Welle schlafen [leget]3,

füllest du mein ganzes Herz.

1. Close both my eyes
Language: English 
Close both my eyes
with your dear hands;
So everything that I suffer
goes to rest under your hand.
And as silently the pain,
wave by wave, goes to sleep;
as the last blow falls,
you fill my whole heart.
