<poem>
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.


:Sweet and low, sweet and low
Sleep and rest, sleep and rest,
:Wind of the western sea,
Father will come to thee soon;
:Low, low, breathe and blow,
Rest, rest, on mother's breast,
:Wind of the western sea!
Father will come to thee soon;
:Over the rolling waters go,
Father will come to his babe in the nest,
:Come from the dying moon, and blow,
Silver sails all out of the west
:Blow him again to me,
Under the silver moon!
:While my little one, while my pretty one, sleeps.
Sleep my little one, sleep my pretty one, sleep.
</poem>


: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.

<poem>
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!


:Sanft und sacht, sanft und sacht
Schlummre fest, schlummre fest,
:weht es von Westen her;
Vater wird bald bei dir sein;
:sacht, sacht, kaum erwacht
ruh', ruh' im Arme fest,
:Wind auf dem westlichen Meer!
Vater tritt bald bei uns ein;
:Über der wogenden Wellen Pracht
Vater schaut bald auf sein Kindlein im Nest,
:weh' durch die mondbeglänzte Nacht,
silbern winken Segel aus West
:trage ihn zu mir her -
im Silbermondenschein!
:Schlummre sanft mein Kind, schlummre süß mein Kind, ruh!
Schlummre sanft mein Kind, schlummre süß mein Kind, ruh!
 
</poem>
: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!

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.

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

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!
