Schlafe nur ein
Language: German (Deutsch)
Schlafe nur ein,
Bist nicht allein;
Träume von lichtem, von rosigem Schein!
Schließe das Aug';
Sanft wie ein Hauch
Küsst dich die Liebe in Schlummer hinein.
Schlafe, mein Kind!
Ach, so geschwind
Fliehen die Tage, die Jugend entrinnt!
Danach, die Zeit
Ist wohl nicht weit,
Hält dich kein Arm mehr so zart und so lind!
Schlafe nur ein,
Bist nicht allein;
Träume von lichtem, von rosigem Schein!
Äuglein mach zu,
Schlafe in Ruh';
Liebe, sie hütet und wieget dich ein!

Just go to sleep
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Just go to sleep,
You are not alone;
Dream of the bright, of the rosy glow!
Close your eyes;
As gently as a breath,
Love shall kiss you into slumber.
Sleep, my child!
Ah, so quickly
The days go by, youth flies past!
Then, the time
Is likely not far away,
No arm shall hold you so delicately and gently any longer!
Just go to sleep,
You are not alone;
Dream of the bright, of the rosy glow!
Close your eyes;
Sleep in peace;
Love, it guards you and rocks you to sleep!
