Lied eines Knaben
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
   Ruhig, ruhig, ruhig will ich sein.
Wie ein Lämmlein auf der Weide liegen.
Mich zufüßen einem Hirten schmiegen.
Ruhig will ich sein.

   Ruhig, ruhig, ruhig will ich sein.
Wie ein Lämmlein fromm die Scheere leiden,
daß die Andern warm sich können kleiden.
Ruhig will ich sein.

   Ruhig will ich sein.
Heute ist mein [Jugendtrotz]1 verdorben,
meine süße Mutter ist gestorben.
Ruhig werd' ich sein.
