Sov saa stille
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)
Our translations: FRE
Sov saa stille, sov, min lille, Nu er det jo nat. Vet du ei, at alle fugle, Blunder længst i skog og krat, Og de lyse blomster vugges Alt i sakte slummer ind, Saa skal vi paa puten lægge Varligt kind mod kind. Sov saa stille, sov, min lille, Natten er ei lang. Og imorgen skal du vaagne Til de glade fugles sang, Og da skinner atter solen I den lyse blomster eng. Sov saa stille, sov min lille I den bløte seng.

Schlummerlied
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Norwegian (Bokmål)
Schlaf ein Stündchen, Herzenskindchen, Nacht brach schon herein. Weisst du nicht, dass alle Vögel Längst im Wald geschlummert ein, Dass die lichten Blumen werden Schon in Schlummer sanft gewiegt? Lass auch uns nun ruhn, das Wange Sanft an Wange liegt. Schlaf ein Stündchen, Herzenskindchen, Lang ist nicht die Nacht. Und am Morgen mit dem Vöglein Bist du wieder froh erwacht, Und dann scheint die Sonne wieder Auf die Au so blumenreich. Schlaf ein Stündchen, Herzenskindchen, In dem Bettchen weich.
From the Backer-Grøndahl score.
