Language: German (Deutsch)
Der Mond ist schlafen gangen,
Die Sterne blinzeln blind,
Als ob sie müde sind
Von all dem Funkeln und Prangen.
Und vor dem Fenster leise
Säuselt so lieb und lind
Ein frischer Frühlingswind;
Ich wünsch ihm gute Reise.
Und hörst du's sachte pochen:
"Gute Nacht, gute Nacht, mein Kind!"
Dich grüßt der Frühlingswind,
Er hat es mir versprochen.

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
The moon is going to sleep,
The stars blink blindly
As if they are tired
Of all the twinkling and shining.
And in front of the window quietly
Murmurs so sweet and gentle
A fresh spring wind;
I wish it a good journey.
And do you hear it softly whisper:
“Good night, good night, my child!”
The spring wind greets you,
It has promised me.
1 pochen is literally "to tap," or "to throb"
