Die Englein haben's Bett gemacht

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE

Die Englein haben's Bett gemacht,
die Federn fliegen 'runter,
die Englein haben's Bett gemacht.
Alle Tag' da schlafen sie,
zur Nacht, zur Nacht da sind sie munter.
Wären sie nicht munter zur Nacht,
wer hätte dann mein Kind bewacht?

Els angelets s’han fet el llit

Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)

Els angelets s’han fet el llit,
voleiant davallen les plomes,
els angelets s’han fet el llit.
Dormen tot el dia,
de nit, de nit estan desperts.
Si de nit no estiguessin desperts,
qui vetllaria el meu infant?
