Schlaf, mein Prinzchen English translation
von Nena

Sleep, my little prince, rest now
Little sheep and birds are resting now
Garden and meadow are silent
Not even a little bee hums anymore
Luna with her silver glow
Looks in through the window
Sleep by the silver glow
Sleep, my little prince, fall asleep
Fall asleep, fall asleep


Even in the castle already lies
Everything rocked to slumber
No little mouse stirs anymore
Cellar and kitchen are empty
Only in the maid’s chamber
Sounds a melting "Ah"
What kind of "Ah" might that be?
Sleep, my little prince, fall asleep
Fall asleep, fall asleep

Who is happier than you?
Nothing but pleasure and peace
Toys and sweets in abundance
And even carriages in motion
Everything is taken care of and ready
So that my little prince does not cry
What will it be like in the future?
Sleep, my little prince, fall asleep
Fall asleep, fall asleep
Fall asleep, fall asleep
