The text of Schubert's lullaby
The original text in German
Sleep, sleep, dear, sweet boy,
your mother's hand gently rocks you;
this cradle belt brings you gentle rest, mild refreshment.
Sleep, sleep in the sweet grave
nor does your mother's arm protect you;
all desires, all belongings she lovingly embraces, all lovingly.
Sleep, sleep in the downy womb,
you are still surrounded by a loud love tone;
a lily, a rose, after sleep they become your reward.
The text in English
Sleep, sleep, gracious, sweet boy,
softly rocked by your mother's hand;
gentle rest, mild refreshment brings you this floating cradle-strap.
Sleep, sleep in the sweet grave,
still protected by your mother's arms;
all her desires, all her possessions she holds lovingly, glowing with love.
Sleep, sleep in the downy bosom,
still notes of love grow around you;
a lily, a rose, after sleep they will reward you.
Slumber, slumber, O my darling baby,
Gently rocked by Mother's gentle hand;
Softly rest and safely slumber,
While she swings thee by this cradle-band.
Slumber, slumber, all so sweetly buried,
Guarded by thy mother's loving arm;
All her wishes, all possessions,
And her love, shall shelter thee from harm.
Slumber, slumber, warm thy nest and downy,
Many a loving song for thee she'll sing;
Then a rosebud and a lily,
When thou wakest, she to thee will bring.

Ninna nanna mio ben, riposa seren
an angel of heaven, you watch faithfully.

if the Lord wills it, you will rise or child.
Good night baby, rest cute
