English text
- Sweet and low, sweet and low
- Wind of the western sea,
- Low, low, breathe and blow,
- Wind of the western sea!
- Over the rolling waters go,
- Come from the dying moon, and blow,
- Blow him again to me,
- While my little one, while my pretty one, sleeps.
- Sleep and rest, sleep and rest,
- Father will come to thee soon;
- Rest, rest, on mother's breast,
- Father will come to thee soon;
- Father will come to his babe in the nest,
- Silver sails all out of the west
- Under the silver moon!
- Sleep my little one, sleep my pretty one, sleep.
German translation
- Sanft und sacht, sanft und sacht
- weht es von Westen her;
- sacht, sacht, kaum erwacht
- Wind auf dem westlichen Meer!
- Über der wogenden Wellen Pracht
- weh' durch die mondbeglänzte Nacht,
- trage ihn zu mir her -
- Schlummre sanft mein Kind, schlummre süß mein Kind, ruh!
- Schlummre fest, schlummre fest,
- Vater wird bald bei dir sein;
- ruh', ruh' im Arme fest,
- Vater tritt bald bei uns ein;
- Vater schaut bald auf sein Kindlein im Nest,
- silbern winken Segel aus West
- im Silbermondenschein!
- Schlummre sanft mein Kind, schlummre süß mein Kind, ruh!
