Schlaflied [English translation]

Everything is silent,

The wind has gone to sleep,

And silence reigns everywhere.

No monster that stirs,

And everyone sleeps peacefully.

Throw your worries away

The yellow moon returns home

And looks down on you;

Close your eyes

Listen to my imagination

Everything I tell you

Are stories of happiness

Close your eyes

Listen to my imagination

Move forward into your dreams

And do not look back

Everything is silent

The wild beasts are asleep

The dreams of all the world

will be soulful tonight

Your sleep will be sinless

and I whisper to you: "I will be still here tomorrow"

The yellow moon returns home

And look down on you;

Close your eyes

Listen to my imagination

Everything I tell you

Are stories of happiness

Close your eyes

Listen to my imagination

Move forward into your dreams

And do not look back

(don't look back)
