English translation
1. The blossoms already slumber
in the light of the moon,
They nod their heads on their stems.
The tree blossoms, they quiver so,
Rustling as though in a dream:
Go to sleep, go to sleep, my precious child!
2. The little birds, they warbled
so sweetly in the sun,
they have gone to slumber
in their little nests.
The cricket on the blade of grass,
Only he coos softly:
Go to sleep, go to sleep, my precious child!
3. The sandman comes creeping
and peaks through the window,
to see if still a child
might not yet be in bed.
And where he finds even one child,
he scatters the sand in his eyes.
Go to sleep, go to sleep, my precious child!
4. The sandman exits from the room,
my darling sleeps so well,
his eyes are shuttered firmly,
quite tightly locked the lids.
The welcome dawn illuminates
those little eyes so pure!
Go to sleep, go to sleep, my precious child!
