Original German

English Translation

Schlafe, mein Prinzchen, schlaf ein, Schäfchen ruh'n und Vögelein, Garten und Wiese verstummt, auch nicht ein Bienchen mehr summt, Luna mit silbernem Schein gucket zum Fenster herein, schlafe bei silbernem Schein, schlafe, mein Prinzchen, schlaf ein, schlaf ein, schlaf ein! Auch in dem Schlosse schon liegt alles in Schlummer gewiegt, reget kein Mäuschen sich mehr, Keller und Küche sind leer, nur in der Zofe Gemach tönet ein schmachtendes Ach! Was für ein Ach mag das sein? Schlafe, mein Prinzchen, schlaf ein, schlaf ein, schlaf ein! Wer ist beglückter als du? Nichts als Vergnügen und Ruh'! Spielwerk und Zucker vollauf und noch Karossen im Lauf, Alles besorgt und bereit, dass nur mein Prinzchen nicht schreit. Was wird da künftig erst sein? Schlafe, mein Prinzchen, schlaf' ein, schlaf ein, schlaf ein![3]

Sleep, my little prince, sleep, The sheep and the birdies rest, The garden and the meadow are quiet, Not even a little bee buzzes anymore. Luna, with a silverly glow Looks in through the window, Sleep by the silvery glow, Sleep, my little prince, sleep, Sleep, sleep! By now, all are in bed in the castle, All lulled into a slumber, No more mice stir, The basement and kitchen are empty. Only in the maid's chambers There sounds a languishing sigh! What might this sigh be for? Sleep, my little prince, sleep, Sleep, sleep! Who is happier than you? Nothing but pleasure and peace! All trinkets and sugar, And a trotting stage-coach. Everyone's anxious and ready That my little prince will just not cry. But what will the future bring? Sleep, my little prince, sleep, Sleep, sleep![4]

Today's Italian art song can be downloaded here. For more information look here and here. 

A rough translation of the song is, 

Kiss me, darling kiss me, let me hold you in sweet love's embrace, let me press your lips to mine. Love, I'm burning to tell you secrets of love. Forever and ever, close beside you, I would whisper that I love you, pleading for one more caress. Then, I would tenderly hear your heartbeats confess. I have no desire for diamonds or jewels because love is all that I need to capture my heart. Oh, my sweetheart, one little kiss, my treasure. Come here and kiss me.

Enjoy!
