Wiegenlied   lyrics by V. Blüthgen

Und was seh’ ich denn da oben in Himmel
in einem großen blauen Saal?
O, viele, viele weiße Englein.
Ja und was machen die denn da?
Die einen putzen den Mond blank,
die andern putzen die Sternelein,
daß sie schön blink blank
in mei’m Kindle sei’ Traum schein’
in mei’m Kindle sei’ Traum.

Lullaby   translation by Hélène Lindqvist

And what do I see up there in heaven
in a big blue hall?
O, many, many white angels.
And what are they doing there?
Some polish the moon,
some shine the stars,
that they will glisten shiny tonight
in my baby’s dream.
