Was wecken aus dem Schlummer mich
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Was wecken aus dem Schlummer mich
Für süße Klänge doch?
O Mutter, sieh! wer mag es sein,
[In]1 später Stunde noch?

"Ich [höre nichts, ich sehe]2 nichts,
O schlummre fort so lind!
Man bringt dir keine Ständchen [jetzt]3,
Du armes, krankes Kind!"

[Es ist nicht irdische Musik,
Was]4 mich so freudig macht;
Mich rufen Engel mit Gesang,
O Mutter, gute Nacht!

La sérénade
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Qu'est-ce qui me tire du sommeil,
Avec des sons pourtant si doux ?
Ô mère, vois qui ce pourrait être,
À une heure si tardive.

«Je n'entends rien, je ne vois rien,
Ô rendors-toi bien doucement !
On ne te donnerait pas une sérénade maintenant,
Toi, pauvre enfant malade.»

Ce n'est pas une musique terrestre,
Qui me rend si joyeuse,
Les anges m'appellent de leurs chants
Ô mère, bonne nuit.
