- Oh, goody, I've always wanted to know the German words...
-
- I don't speak German, but my boyfriend in college did, and taught me to
- sing the lullaby *phonetically*. Now I can research the pronounciations
- and translation so I can sing it to my son :).
-
- By the way, this is what my mom sang to me when I was little. ( I don't
- claim that these are the *right* words...)
-
- Lullaby, and goodnight,
- With roses beside thee.
- With roses o'erhead,
- Creep into thy bed.
-
- Lay thee down, now and rest,
- Might thy slumber be blest.
- Lay thee down, now and rest,
- Might thy slumber be blest.
