Paroles et traduction Peter Reber - Schlaf Chindli, schlaf

Schlaf Chindli, schlaf

Schlaf, Chindli, schlaf
U bis nid immer brav
Säg nid zu aûem Ja drzue
Drėssierti Rössli git s scho gnue
Mängisch schwümsch im Schtroom drgäge
S isch bėsser, aûs Ja und Amen z säge
Schlaf
U bis nid immer brav
Schlaf, Chindli, schlaf
Bis muetig u nid brav
Gly muesch lėėre säûber louffe
Mit Blätzen am Chnöi muesch s tüür erchouffe
Doch wär sech nid cha dürebysse
Wirt o nie kė Schtrick verrysse
Schlaf
Bis muetig u nid braav
Schlaf, Chindli, schlaf
Bis fröhlech u nid brav
Luschtig sy u Schtrėich uushėcke
Am Unggle Max dr Schnaps verschtėcke
S isch mer lieber, du chönsch lache
Aûs wüstisch tuusig gschidi Sache
Schlaf
Bis fröhlech u nid brav
Schlaf, Chindli, schlaf
Nėi, ds Läben isch kė Schtraaf
Es isch es Gschänk, doch muesch de lėėre:
O für Gschänk muesch di mängisch wėėre
D Wäût, di isch e Bluemeschtruuss
U du bisch ds chlinschte Blüemli druus
Schlaf
U bis nid immer brav

Sleep, My Little Child

Sleep, my little child
Don't always be so good
Don't say yes to everything
There are already enough trained horses
Sometimes swim against the current
It's better than always saying yes and amen
Sleep
Don't always be so good
Sleep, my little child
Be brave, not good
Soon you'll have to learn to walk on your own
You'll have to pay dearly for the bumps on your knees
But he who can't bite through
Will never tear a knot
Sleep
Be brave, not good
Sleep, my little child
Be happy, not good
Be cheerful and play pranks
Hide the liquor from Uncle Max
I'd rather have you laugh
Than know a thousand clever things
Sleep
Be happy, not good
Sleep, my little child
No, life is not a punishment
It is a gift, but you must learn:
You often have to defend yourself for gifts
The world, it is a bouquet
And you are the smallest flower in it
Sleep
Don't always be so good
