Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA

Schlafe, Liebchen, weil's auf Erden
Nun so still und seltsam wird!
Oben gehn die goldnen Herden,
Für uns alle wacht der Hirt.

 ... 

Schlingend sich an Bäum' und Zweigen
In Dein stilles Kämmerlein,
Wie auf goldnen Leitern, steigen
Diese Töne aus und ein.

 ... 

Und der Töne Klang entführet
Weit der buhlerische Wind,
Und durch Schloß und Wand ihn spüret
Träumend wohl das süsse Kind.

Ninna‑nanna

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Mendelssohn)

See original

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

Dormi, amorino bello, mentre sulla terra
tutto è quieto e solitario.
Le greggi dorate vanno per il cielo,
su noi tutti veglia il pastore.

 ... 











E il suono della voce è rapito
lontano dal vento cortese,
e attraverso pareti e serrature accarezza
forse il dolce bimbo che sogna.

 ...
