[Verse 1]
GmSei ganz leise, Fsei nicht ängstlich,
Gmschau er hat dich Dmdoch so gerne.
GmÜber deinem Fkleinen Bettchen,
schaukeln Sonne, EbMond und Sterne.
GmSeine Hand, die Fgroße schwere,
Gmquetscht die deine Dmdir entzwei,
Gmund sein Mund, der Fgroße dunkle,
summt ein schönes EbLied dabei.
[Chorus]
GmKindlein, lass dich Ebküssen
GmKindlein, gute EbNacht!
GmWirst nun schlafen Fmüssen
Ebhast genug geFwacht.
Schließ Gmzu die goldnen EbÄuglein,
schlaf Fein, schlaf ein, schlaf Gmein,
Du Fliebes KindeAmlein!
[Verse 2]
GmSchlafe ein, du Fkleine Tochter!
GmAuch in dieser Dmdunklen Nacht,
Gmsitzt dein Vater Fnoch am Bettchen
und hält Ebwacht.
GmOb am Abend, Fob am Morgen,
Gmsei es spät auch, Dmsei es früh,
Gmwird er immer Fwieder kommen,
seine Liebe Ebschlummert nie.
[Chorus]
GmKindlein, lass dich Ebküssen
GmKindlein, gute EbNacht!
GmWirst nun schlafen Fmüssen
Ebhast genug geFwacht.
Schließ Gmzu die goldnen EbÄuglein,
schlaf Fein, schlaf ein, schlaf Gmein,
