Vom Berg hinabgestiegen Ist nun des Tages Rest; Mein Kind liegt in der Wiegen, Die Vögel all' im Nest; Nur ein ganz klein Singvögelein Ruft weit daher im Dämmerschein: "Gut' Nacht! ... Lieb' Kindlein, gute Nacht!" Das Spielzeug ruht im Schreine, Die Kleider auf der Bank, Das Mäuslein ganz alleine Es raschelt noch im Schrank, Draußen steht der Abendstern Und winkt dem Kind aus weiter Fern': "Gut' Nacht! ... Lieb' Kindlein, gute Nacht!" ... Der Vogel und die Sterne, Und alle rings umher, Sie seh'n mein Kind so gerne, Die Engel noch viel mehr. Mit den Flügeln decken sie's zu Und singen leise: "Schlaf in Ruh! Gut' Nacht! ... Lieb' Kindlein, gute Nacht!"

Baixant de la muntanya,
ara és el repòs del dia;
el meu infant és al bressol,
els ocellets tots al seu niu;
tan sols un petit cant d’ocell
crida al lluny en el crepuscle:
“Bona nit! Bona nit!
Estimat petit infant, bona nit!”
Les joguines reposen al cofre,
els vestits a la banqueta,
un ratolí, tot sol,
remoreja a l’armari,
i al cel, l’estrella del vespre
fa senyals a l’infant des de la llunyania:
“Bona nit! Bona nit!
Estimat petit infant, bona nit!”
...
Els ocells i les estrelles,
les mosques, tot a l’entorn
estimen certament el meu infant,
els àngels encara més,
l’abriguen amb les seves ales
i canten fluixet: “Dorm en pau!
Bona nit! Bona nit!
Estimat petit infant, bona nit!”
