Frank Sinatra - Cradle Song (Brahms’ Lullaby) lyrics

Lullaby and good night, with roses bestride
With lilies bedecked 'neath Baby's sweet bed
May thou sleep, may thou rest
May thy slumber be blest
May thou sleep, may thou rest
May thy slumber be blest

Lullaby and good night, thy mother's delight
Bright angels around, my darling, shall guard
They will guide thee from harm
Thou art safe in my arms
They will guide thee from harm
Thou art safe in my arms

(and these are the original words
Of Brahms in German)

Guten Abend, gut' nacht! Mit Rosen bedacht
Mit N„glein besteckt schl乸f
Unter die Deck'!
Morgen Frä¹­, wenn Got will
Wirst du wieder geweckt
Morgen Frä¹­, wenn Got will
Wirst du wieder geweckt

Guten Abend, gut' nacht! Von Englein bewacht
Die zeigen in Traum
Dir Christkindlein's baum
Schlaf' num selig und suss
Schau' in Traum's Paradies
Schlaf' num selig und suss
Schau' in Traum's Paradies

(without poetic embellishments
This is the direct translationof Brahms)

Good evening, good night, covered with roses
With tiny fingernails hidden
Slipping under the blankets
Tomorrow morning, if God wills
You will wake again
Tomorrow morning, if God wills
You will wake again god evening, good night
Watched over by tiny angels
Who show the little Christ
Child's tree in dreams
Sleep now, blessed and sweet
Look at dream's paradise
Sleep now, blessed and sweet
Look at dream's paradise
