Da draußen auf der Aue
Language: German (Deutsch)
Da draußen auf der Aue, Da stehn die Blümelein, Sie haben den Kelch geschlossen Und sind geschlummert ein. Da draußen in dem Walde, Da wohnen die Vögelein, Sie sitzen in ihren Nestern, Da mag es gar heimlich seyn. Da droben an dem Himmel, Da wandeln die Sternelein, Sie leuchten durch das Dunkel Mit ihrem milden Schein. Und hier im armen Stübchen, Hier liegt mein Kindelein, Und bei ihm sitzt die Mutter, Und wiegt und singt es ein.

Lullaby
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
There out upon the meadows, the pretty flowers spring, Here leaves are softly closing, they're slumb'ring; they're slumb'ring. And in the forest yonder, the birds have built their nest, And there they sit so snugly, and safely rest, and safely rest. The little stars are blinking, up in the far blue sky, They twinkle through the darkness so silently, so silently. And nestling in his cradle, with Mother sitting by, Her babe she rocks to slumber and sings lullaby, and sings lullaby.
From the Kücken score.
