Am Heidehügel geht ein Singen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FIN

Am Heidehügel geht ein Singen,
Ein leises Singen her und hin,
Da wiegt in einer goldenen Wiege
Ihr Kind die Zwergenkönigin.

Ich denke an das alte Märchen,
Es liegt mein Kopf in deinem Schoß,
Dein Mund singt mir ein Wiegenliedchen,
Und meine Augen werden groß.

Mein Herz, das ist so still und selig,
Ein goldener Traum darüber fliegt,
Es liegt in einer goldnen Wiege,
Die langsam hin und her sich wiegt.

Nummen kukkulalta kaikuu laulu

Language: Finnish (Suomi) after the German (Deutsch)

Nummen kukkulalta kaikuu laulu,  
hiljainen laulu joka suuntaan,
siellä tuutii kultaisessa kehdossa 
lastaan kääpiöiden kuningatar.
 
Ajattelen vanhaa tarinaa,
pääni lepää sinun sylissäsi,
sinun suusi laulaa minulle kehtolaulua,
ja silmäni rävähtävät suuriksi.
 
Sydämeni on niin rauhallinen ja autuas,
kultainen uni leijuu kaiken yllä,
sydämeni lepää kultaisessa kehdossa,
joka hitaasti keinahtelee puolelta toiselle.
