Wiegala

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE ITA

Wiegala, wiegala, weier,
der Wind spielt auf der Leier.
Er spielt so süß im grünen Ried,
die Nachtigall, die singt ihr Lied.
Wiegala, wiegala, weier,
der Wind spielt auf der Leier.
 
Wiegala, wiegala, werne,
der Mond ist die Laterne,
er steht am dunklen Himmelszelt
und schaut hernieder auf die Welt.
Wiegala, wiegala, werne,
der Mond ist die Lanterne.
 
Wiegala, wiegala, wille,
wie ist die Welt so stille!
Es stört kein Laut die süße Ruh,
schlaf, mein Kindchen, schlaf auch du.
Wiegala, wiegala, wille,
wie ist die Welt so stille!

Berceuse

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Dodo, dodo, l'enfant do,
Le vent joue de la lyre,
Il joue si doucement dans les roseaux verts,
Le rossignol, lui, chante sa chanson.
Dodo, dodo, l'enfant do.
Le vent joue de la lyre.

Dodo, dodo, l'enfant do,
La lune est comme une lanterne,
Elle se tient dans la sombre voûte céleste
Et regarde le monde en bas.
Dodo, dodo, l'enfant do.
La lune est comme une lanterne.

Dodo, dodo, l'enfant do.
Comme le monde est silencieux !
Aucun bruit ne trouble le doux repos,
Dors, mon enfant, dors toi aussi.
Dodo, dodo, l'enfant do.
Comme le monde est silencieux !
