Sov saa stille, sov, min lille, Nu er det jo nat. Vet du ei, at alle fugle, Blunder længst i skog og krat, Og de lyse blomster vugges Alt i sakte slummer ind, Saa skal vi paa puten lægge Varligt kind mod kind. Sov saa stille, sov, min lille, Natten er ei lang. Og imorgen skal du vaagne Til de glade fugles sang, Og da skinner atter solen I den lyse blomster eng. Sov saa stille, sov min lille I den bløte seng.

Dors bien tranquille, dors mon petit, il fait maintenant bien nuit. Ne sais-tu pas que tous les oiseaux dorment depuis longtemps dans la forêt, et que les fleurs ont déjà été bercées et se sont doucement endormies, Alors nous allons nous allonger sur le coussin, gentiment joue contre joue. Dors bien tranquille, dors mon petit, la nuit n'est pas longue. Et demain tu t'éveilleras au chant joyeux des oiseaux, et alors le soleil brillera à nouveau sur les éclatantes fleurs de la prairie. Dors bien tranquille, dors mon petit, dans ton lit douillet.
