Singet leise, leise, leise,
singt eine flüsternd Wiegenlied;
von dem Monde lernt die Weise,
der so still am Himmel zieht.
...
Singt ein Lied so süß gelinde,
wie die Quelle auf den Kieseln,
wie die Bienen um die Linde
summen, murmeln, flüstern, rieseln.

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Chantez doucement, doucement, doucement
Fredonnez une berceuse,
Apprenez la manière de la lune
Qui va silencieuse dans le ciel.
...
Chantez une chanson douce et apaisante,
Comme la source sur les galets,
Comme les abeilles sur le tilleul
Fredonnent, murmurent, chuchotent, ruissellent.
