Schlaf ein English translation
von Lindemann

when your children are tired
Talk to 'Godfather Sleep'
He is rising from the shadow of the trees
Get into his realm of dreams

When you feel dull and sleepy
Has he softly wrapped you up already?
Now it's time to do nothing more
Resting your mind and body

In the deep dark forest, you cannot see anything anymore
Will it be so hard for you?

When the day comes to an end
The last light before the darkness
You should not be sad
Tomorrow the sun will shine

go to sleep
go to sleep


Oh their little heavy hearts
And their tears are flowing a lot
There's no blood at all
You have to go to sleep now

Dear child, you should not cry
This only gets the earth wet
Tomorrow the sun will shine
Lick the tears from your pale cheeks

When the day comes to an end
The last light before the darkness
You should not be sad
Tomorrow the sun will shine

go to sleep
go to sleep

And after the cold night
Sleep releases you again
Gently opens the heavy eyelids
And God willing, let's meet again

When the day comes to an end
The last light before the darkness
You should not be sad
Tomorrow the sun will shine


When the day comes to an end
The last light before the darkness
You should not be sad
Tomorrow the sun will shine

go to sleep
go to sleep
go to sleep
go to sleep
