Original lyrics
Still, still, still, weil's Kindlein schlafen will
Still, still, still,
weil's Kindlein schlafen will!
Die Engel tun schön jubilieren,
Bei dem Kripplein musizieren.
Still, still, still,
Weil's Kindlein schlafen will.
Schlaf, schlaf, schlaf,
Mein liebes Kindlein, schlaf!
Maria tut dich [es] niedersingen
Und ihr treues Herz darbringen.
Schlaf, schlaf, schlaf,
Mein liebes Kindlein, schlaf!
Groß, groß, groß,
Die Lieb' ist übergroß.
Gott hat den Himmelsthron verlassen
Und muß reisen auf der Straßen.
Groß, groß, groß,
Die Lieb' ist übergroß.
Auf, auf, auf,
Ihr Adamskinder auf!
Fallet Jesum all zu Füßen,
Weil er für uns d'Sünd tut büßen!
Auf, auf, auf,
Ihr Adamskinder auf!
Wir, wir, wir,
Wir rufen all zu dir:
"Tu uns des Himmels Reich aufschließen,
Wenn wir einmal sterben müssen.
Wir, wir, wir,
Wir rufen all zu dir."
Ruh't, ruh't, ruh't,
Weil's Kindlein schlafen tut.
Sankt Josef löscht das Lichtlein aus,
Die Englein schützen's kleine Haus.
Ruh't, ruh't, ruh't,
Weil's Kindlein schlafen tut.

Translation
Still, still, still
Still, still, still,
For the little baby wants to sleep.
The angels are already jubilating,
Making music by the crib.
Still, still, still,
For the little baby wants to sleep.
Sleep, sleep, sleep,
My dear little child, sleep.
Maria is singing you to sleep
And gives her heart to You.
Sleep, sleep, sleep,
My dear little child, sleep.
Great, great, great,
Love is overwhelming.
God has left His heavenly throne
And travels (earthly) roads.
Great, great, great,
Love is overwhelming.
Up, up, up,
You children of Adam, up!
Fall to the feet of Jesus,
For He suffers for our sins.
Up, up, up,
You children of Adam, up!
We, we, we,
We all call to You:
"Open up the heavenly realm to us,
When we come to die.
We, we, we,
We all call to You."
Calm, calm, calm,
For the little child is sleeping.
Saint Joseph is putting out the light,
The angels are protecting the little house.
Calm, calm, calm,
For the little child is sleeping.
