German.png German text

Guten Abend, gut’ Nacht,
Mit Rosen bedacht,
Mit Näg’lein besteckt
Schlupf’ unter die Deck’;
Morgen früh, wenn Gott will,
Wirst du wieder geweckt.

Guten Abend, gut’ Nacht,
Von Eng’lein bewacht,
Die zeigen [um]1 Traum
Dir Christkindleins Baum:
[Schlaf’ nun selig und süß,
Schau im Traum ’s Paradies.]2

1 Ives: „im“

2 Scherer: „Droben im Paradies / Schlaf nun selig und süß.“

  English.png English translation

Rest thee, darling, good night,
’Mid lilies of white,
Red roses I’ve spread
All over thy bed.
When the lark leaves its nest,
God shall wake thee from rest.

Rest thee, darling, good night,
Kind angels of light
With Jesus will keep
From evil thy sleep.
They will bring to my love
Pretty dreams from above.

Buenas noches mi amor
duerme bajo el rosal
con las manos en cruz
sobre corazón
que mañana con Dios
ya te despertarás.

Bueas noches mi amor
que tu ángel guardián
te dirá lo que has de ver
sobre cielo luz
duerme dulce mi bien
en la gracia de Dios.
