Nacht und Träume
Language:
German
Heil'ge Nacht, du sinkest nieder;
Nieder wallen auch die Träume
Wie dein [Licht]1 durch die Räume,
[Lieblich durch der Menschen Brust]2.
Die belauschen sie mit Lust;
Rufen, wenn der Tag erwacht:
Kehre wieder, heil'ge Nacht!
Holde Träume, kehret wieder!

Night and dreams
Language:
English
Holy night, you sink down;
Dreams, too, drift down
Like your moonlight through space,
Through the quiet hearts of men;
They listen with delight
Calling out when day awakens:
Return, holy night!
Fair dreams, return!
