Frühlingsnacht

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Die Welt ist schlafen gangen,
Still ist's in Busch und Baum
Wo erst die Vöglein sangen:
Gute Nacht und süßen Traum!

Viel tausend goldene Sterne
Strahlen im ewigen Raum.
Sie grüßen aus der Ferne:
Gute Nacht und süßen Traum!

Ruh aus von deinen Mühen!
Du schläfst, und ahnst es kaum --
Morgen wird's überall blühen.
Gute Nacht und süßen Traum!

Spring night

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

The world has gone to sleep.
It is now quiet in bush and tree,
Where the little birds were only just singing:
Good night and sweet dreams.

Thousands of golden stars
Sparkle in eternal space.
They greet us from the distance:
Good night and sweet dreams.

Rest from your labours!
You sleep and scarcely realize it --
Tomorrow it will be blossoming everywhere.
Good night and sweet dreams!
