Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!
Wie du schläfst, so bist du brav.
...
Draußen, roth im Mittagsscheine,
Glüht der schönsten Kirschen eine,
Wenn du aufwachst, gehen wir,
Und mein Finger pflückt sie dir.
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf,
Wie Du schläfst, so bist du brav.
Immer süßer kocht die Sonne
Deine Kirsche, dir zur Wonne,
Schlaf denn, Kindlein, leicht bedeckt,
Bis der Durst nach ihr dich weckt.
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf,
Wie du schläfst, so bist du brav!

Dorm, infant meu, dorm!
Quan tu dorms, tu ets tan bo.
...
A fora, vermella, a la claror del migdia,
brilla la més formosa de les cireres,
quan et despertis, hi anirem
i els meus dits la colliran per a tu.
Dorm, infant meu, dorm!
Quan tu dorms, tu ets tan bo.
La calor del sol la fa cada cop més dolça,
la teva cirera, per a la teva fruïció,
així doncs, infant, dorm tapadet,
fins que el desig per ella et desperti.
Dorm, infant meu, dorm!
Quan tu dorms, tu ets tan bo.
