Ruhe, Süßliebchen, im Schatten
Der grünen, dämmernden Nacht:
Es säuselt das Gras auf den Matten,
Es fächelt und kühlt dich der Schatten
Und treue Liebe wacht.
Schlafe, schlaf ein,
Leiser rauscht der Hain,
Ewig bin ich dein.
Schweigt, ihr versteckten Gesänge,
Und stört nicht die süßeste Ruh'!
Es lauschet der Vögel Gedränge,
Es ruhen die lauten Gesänge,
Schließ, Liebchen, dein Auge zu.
Schlafe, schlaf ein,
Im dämmernden Schein,
Ich will dein Wächter sein.

Uyu tatlı sevgilim, gölgesinde
Şu kararmaya başlayan gecenin:
Çayırda çimenler hışırdıyor,
Esinti var, gölgelik seni serinletiyor
Ve işte gerçek aşk uyanıyor.
Uyu, haydi uyu,
Koru hafifçe hışırdıyor.
Sonsuza kadar ben seninim.
Susun, sinsi şarkılar,
Ve bu tatlı uykuyu rahatsız etmeyin !
Tüm kuşlar kulak vermiş dinliyor,
Gürültülü şarkılar susuyor,
Kapat sevgilim gözlerini.
Uyu, haydi uyu
alaca karanlıkta,
Ben senin koruyucun olacağım.
