Schlaf, schlaf [English translation]

I am tired, I go rest,

close my eyes.

I am tired, I fall asleep,

I don't want to be awake anymore.

While my heart is still tormenting

I sink into this night.

Should I die before the morning,

take care of my soul.

Sleep, sleep, sleep in,

tonight I am not alone anymore.

Sleep, sleep, sleep in,

tonight I'll be (stay) with you.

Dreamless, discouraged, dim and empty

my eyelids heavy.

The night closes in over me

and it will stay in me forever.

While my heart is still tormenting

I sink into this night.

Should I die before the morning,

take care of my soul.

Sleep peacefully, my child,

the night is over fast.

When the morning blooms again,

you know, it goes on.

Sleep, sleep, sleep in,

again this night, you're not alone.

Sleep, sleep, sleep in,

I will be with you every night.

Sleep....
