Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!
Der Vater hüt't die Schaf',
Die Mutter schüttelt 's Bäumelein,
Da fällt herab ein Träumelein,
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!
Am Himmel ziehn die Schaf',
Die Sternlein sind die Lämmelein,
Der Mond der ist das Schäferlein,
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!
...
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!
So schenk' ich dir ein Schaf,
Mit einer goldnen Schelle fein,
Das soll dein Spielgeselle sein,
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!
Und bläk nicht wie ein Schaf,
Sonst kömmt des Schäfers Hündelein,
Und beißt mein böses Kindelein,
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!
Geh fort und hüt' die Schaf,
Geh fort, du schwarzes Hündelein,
Und weck' mir nicht mein Kindelein,
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!

Dorm, petit infant, dorm,
el pare guarda les ovelles,
la mare sacseja un petit arbre
i aleshores cau un petit somni,
dorm, petit infant, dorm.
Dorm, petit infant, dorm,
pel cel passen les ovelles,
les estrelletes són els anyells,
la lluna és el pastor,
dorm, petit infant, dorm.
...
Dorm, petit infant, dorm,
jo et donaré un anyell
amb un bonic cascavell d’or
que serà el teu company de joc,
dorm, petit infant, dorm.
Dorm, petit infant, dorm,
i no belis com un anyell,
altrament vindrà el gosset del pastor
i mossegarà el meu infant trapella,
dorm, petit infant, dorm.
Dorm, petit infant, dorm,
vés a guardar les ovelles,
vés-te’n gosset negre
i no despertis el meu infant,
dorm, petit infant, dorm.
