Sleep, my little prince, fall asleep:
the lambs and birdies are resting,
the garden and meadow are silent,
and even the little bee hums no more.
Luna with a silver gleam
is pouring her light into the window.
Sleep by the silvery light,
sleep, my little prince, fall asleep!

Everyone in the castle is already lying down:
everyone is cradled in slumber,
and even the little mouse rustles no more.
The cellar and kitchen are empty,
only in the chambermaid's quarters
one can hear a languishing sigh!
What kind of sigh might this be?
Sleep, my little prince, fall asleep!

Who is happier than you?
Nothing but amusement and rest!
Toys and sugar enough,
and even a stately coach to convey you;
everyone is careful and ready
so that my little prince will not shriek.
But what will the future bring?
Sleep, my little prince, fall asleep.
