Schlummerlied
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Leise fällt ein Schnee auf das Land. Leise fällt ein Schnee auf das Herz. Bald sind wir zugeschneit. Wie schön du müde bist, du junge Frau! Und in weißem Nebel träumt die rote Sonne, im Nebel ein feurig Herz. Es hat sich müd geglänzt, das hat sich müd geliebt. Nun will es ruhn und schlafen. Wie schön du schlafen wirst, du junge Frau!
