by Johann Ludwig Uhland (1787 - 1862)
Translation by Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804 - 1877)

Was wecken aus dem Schlummer mich
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Was wecken aus dem Schlummer mich
Für süße Klänge doch?
O Mutter, sieh! wer mag es sein,
In später Stunde noch?

"Ich höre nichts, ich sehe nichts,
O schlummre fort so lind!
Man bringt dir keine Ständchen jetzt,
Du armes, krankes Kind!"

Es ist nicht irdische Musik,
Was mich so freudig macht;
Mich rufen Engel mit Gesang,
O Mutter, gute Nacht!

Serenaden
NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view
Language: Swedish (Svenska)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Hvad milda toner väcka mig
Ur hvilans korta blund?
O moder, hvadan komma de
I denna sena stund?

"Jag varsnar intet. Somna tyst,
O, blifve slumren ljuf!
Mitt arma, sjuka barn, dig ges
Ej serenader nu."

Från jorden komma ej de ljud,
Som helsa mig så gladt;
Nej, det är englaskarans sång, –
Min moder, o god natt.
