Maria sitzt im Rosenhag Und wiegt ihr Jesuskind, Durch die Blätter leise Weht der warme Sommerwind. Zu ihren Füßen singt Ein buntes Vögelein: Schlaf, Kindlein, süße, Schlaf nun ein! Hold ist dein Lächeln, Holder deines Schlummers Lust, Leg dein müdes Köpfchen Fest an deiner Mutter Brust! Schlaf, Kindlein, süße, Schlaf nun ein!

Marie est assise à côté du berceau rose Et berce son enfant Jésus. Doucement à travers les feuilles Le doux vent du sommeil souffle. À ses pieds chante Un petit oiseau coloré : Dors, petit enfant, mon chéri, Dors maintenant ! Ton sourire est adorable, Ta joie dans le sommeil est encore plus adorable, Pose ta petite tête fatiguée Contre le sein de ta mère ! Dors, petit enfant, mon chéri, Dors maintenant !
