Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!
Sleep, Little Child, Sleep!
Lullaby
(German)
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!
Der Vater hüt' die Schaf,
Die Mutter schüttelt 's Bäumelein,
Da fällt herab ein Träumelein.
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!
Da draußen gehn zwei Schaf,
Ein schwarzes und ein weißes,
Und wenn das Kind nicht schlafen will,
Dann kommt das schwarz' und beißs es!
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!
Lullaby
(English)
Sleep, little child, sleep!
Father guards the sheep,
Mother shakes the little tree,
Then a little dream falls down for thee,
Sleep, little child, sleep!
Sleep, little child, sleep!
Two sheep are there outside,
A black one and a white one,
And when the child doesn't want to sleep,
The black one comes and bites him!
Sleep, little child, sleep!
