In the dark night, over Bethlehem,
The clear dawn was gone, the earth covered with light.
Holy Virgin, Holy Bride,
In the den of the poor Son gave birth.
Refrain:
Sleep, Jesus, Sleep, Little,
Sleep, you, star, mine.
Your fate, my dear,
I sing to you.
Gently kissed, covered with a cloth,
She put to bed, quietly started the song:
You grow up, You, Son, You will become an adult,
In the world you will go, My baby.
Chorus: Sleep, Jesus ...
The love of the Lord and the truth of God
You, in a world of faith, will bring your people,
The truth will live, the shackles of sin will break
But on Calvary, My child will die.
Refrain:
Sleep Jesus Jesus sleep little baby
Sleep, you, my star
Your fate, my dear
I sing to you
...
Sleep Jesus Jesus sleep little baby
Sleep, you, my pink blossom
And with hope in You
The whole world is watching!
