Cradle song lyrics

Artist  : Frank sinatra 
Song : Cradle song
 
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�pf unter die
deck’!
Morgen fr�h, wenn got will, wirst du wieder
geweckt,
Morgen fr�h, 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.
