Zum Schlafen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT FRE
Oben in dem Birnenbaum
sitzt ein Vöglein, ganz aus Gold;
singt so leis, man hört es kaum,
singt so fein und singt so hold.
Will die Grete artig sein,
hört sie's auch im Birnenbaum,
will die Grete artig sein,
hat mein liebes Töchterlein
einen goldnen Traum.

Pour dormir
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Là-haut dans le poirier
Est posé un petit oiseau, tout en or ;
Il chante si doucement qu'on peut à peine l'entendre,
Il chante si délicatement et si joliment.
Si Grete est gentille,
Elle l'entendra aussi dans le poirier,
Si Grete est gentille,
Ma chère petite sœur aura
Un rêve en or.
