Weißt du, wieviel Sternlein stehen? [English translation]

Do you know how many stars stand

On the blue heaven's tent?

Do you know how many clouds go

Widely over the world?

God, the Lord, has counted them

So that He's not missing one of them

Of the huge number

Of the huge number.

Do you know how many midges play

In the bright sunshine?

How many fishes cool down

In the light water?

God, the Lord, called them by their names

So they all came to life

To be so happy now

To be so happy now.

Do you know how many children sleep

In their beds tonight?

Do you know how many dreams come

To the tired children?

God, the Lord, has counted them

So that He's not missing one of them

He knows you as well and loves you

He knows you as well and loves you

Do you know how many children get up

Out of their beds in the morning

To be happy in the course of the day

Without sorrow and trouble?

God in Heaven likes all of them

And is delighted by them

He knows you as well and loves you

He knows you as well and loves you
