Schlafe, mein Prinzchen, es ruhn
Schaefchen und Voegelchen nun,
Garten und Wiese verstummt,
auch nicht ein Bienchen mehr summt.
Luna mit silbernem Schein
gucket zum Fenster herein,
schlafe beim silbernen Schein.
Schlafe, mein Prinzchen,
schlaf ein, schlaf ein, schlaf ein.

Translation:

Sleep, my little prince,
the little sheep and birds are resting now,
garden and meadow are silent,
not even a little bee is humming.
Luna with silvery shine
is looking through the window,
sleep with the silvery shine,
sleep, my little prince,
go to sleep, go to sleep.
