Sleep, my little prince
(English translation of "Schlafe, mein Prinzchen, schlaf ein")
(music: Johann Friedrich Anton Fleischmann)
German original

Sleep, my little prince, fall asleep,
The lambs and little birds are resting.
Garden and meadow have fallen silent,
Not even a little bee is humming anymore.
The moon with its silvery light
Peeks in through the window.
Sleep in the silvery glow,
Sleep, my little prince, fall asleep!

Sleep, sleep!

Even in the castle now
Everything is rocked into slumber.
Not a little mouse is stirring,
Cellar and kitchen stand empty.
Luna, with her silvery light,
Peeks in through the window.
Sleep in the silvery glow,
Sleep, my little prince, fall asleep!

Sleep, sleep!
