Mein Kind, schlaf ein [English translation]

The evening wind already blows cold,

And night is quickly closing in.

Sleep and spare yourself from crying,

Just sleep, sleep,

My child, go to sleep.

Oh, you still know no need,

Know nothing of war and death!

Your world is light and bright,

Until your childhood dream is shattered.

Already tomorrow you will have awoken

From your long fairy-tale night.

Tomorrow the world will be all yours,

Just always live with a pure heart!

Mmh, mmh, mmh, mmh,

Just always live with a pure heart!

Mmh, mmh, mmh, mmh,

Just sleep, sleep,

My child, go to sleep.
