Gute Nacht mein Herz und schlummre ein!
Language: German (Deutsch)
Gute Nacht mein Herz und schlummre ein! In diesen Herbstestagen Ohne Blumen und Sonnenschein Was willst du schlagen? Dein Schmerz ist aus, deine Lust ist tot, Verweht sind Lenz und Lieder; Der Liebe Röslein purpurroth Blüht nimmer wieder. Singend zog er ins Land hinein, Der falsche, liebe Knabe -- Und du? - Im stillen Grabe Schlafe mein Herz, schlaf' ein!

Good night, my heart, and go to sleep!
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Good night, my heart, and go to sleep! In these autumn days; Without flowers and sunshine, Why should you wish to beat? Your pain is over, your joy is dead, Springtime and songs have dissipated; The little crimson rose of love Shall never bloom again. Singing, he travelled off into the countryside, The false, dear lad -- And you? - In the quiet grave Go to sleep, my heart, go to sleep!
