Drowsy
birds
Drowsy birds at even gliding,
Round about their nests alight,
In among the branches hiding...
Dear, good night!
Silence through the forest creeping,
Lullaby the river sighs;
In the garden flowers sleeping...
Shut your eyes!
Glides the swan among the rushes
To its rest where moonlight gleams,
And the angels' whisper hushes...
Peaceful dreams!
O'er the sky stars without number,
On the earth a silver light;
All is harmony and slumber...
Dear, good night!
(trad. de Corneliu M. Popescu)
Sleepy
birds
All those sleepy birds
Now tired from flight
Hide among the leaves
Good-night!
Only the spring whispers
When the wood sleeps silently;
Even flowers in the gardens
Sleep peacefully!
Swans glide to their nest
Sheltering among the reeds
May angels guard your rest,
Sweet dreams!
Above a night of sorcery
Comes the moon's graceful light,
All is peace and harmony
Good-night!
