Mariä Wiegenlied

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Maria sitzt im Rosenhag
Und wiegt ihr Jesuskind,
Durch die Blätter leise
Weht der warme Sommerwind.

Zu ihren Füßen singt
Ein buntes Vögelein:
Schlaf, Kindlein, süße,
Schlaf nun ein!

Hold ist dein Lächeln,
Holder deines Schlummers Lust,
Leg dein müdes Köpfchen
Fest an deiner Mutter Brust!
Schlaf, Kindlein, süße,
Schlaf nun ein!

Maria's wiegelied

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Maria zit in de rozengaard
En wiegt haar Jezuskind.
Door de blaad'ren zachtjes
Waait de warme zomerwind.
 
En aan haar voeten zingt
Een klein bont vogeltje:
Slaap, kindje, zoetjes,
Slaap maar in!
 
Lief is je glimlach,
Liever nog je droomgezicht,
Leg je moede hoofdje
Aan je moeders borst maar dicht!
Slaap, kindje, zoetjes,
Slaap maar in!
