Mille cherubini in coro [Orig. Wiegenlied, D 498 by Franz Schubert] [English translation]

A thousand cherubim in chorus

smile on you from heavens high.

Sweet the tune that caresses

delicately your face.

Tenderly a hand is guiding

you through clouds shining gold,

it’s dreaming and keeping watch

over you, precious child,

and protecting your path through life.

Slumber, slumber,

dream my lovely little baby.

Dream and slumber

rest your head on mother’s heart.

Just close your eyes now,

hark to the little angels,

slumber, slumber,

dream my pretty little love.

Just close your eyes now,

hark to the little angels,

slumber, slumber,

dream my pretty little love.
