Go to sleep, little swallow
Go to sleep, my little bird
While you lived, I could whisper
Now there's none to hear my word
Go to sleep, my little helper
Go to sleep, my little friend
While you lived, I kept on hoping
Now my heart is at an end
Little swallow, little angel,
You have helped me oh so much
Though you left me and you're gone
I can still feel your sweet touch
I can still feel your touch
Your sweet touch
While you lived, I had my eyesight
Now you're gone without my heart
In my dreams, I still see you
So we nevermore will part
Go to sleep little bird,
Go to sleep
