{{Translation|English| | |||
The night, o sweet Son, | |||
unfolds already its shady blanket | |||
and the mortals, by sleeping, | |||
go to appease their pains. | |||
I want to sing thee, | |||
my dear Child, the lullaby. | |||
Thou only will make my eyelash and my chest | |||
get wet of warm drops, | |||
close your eyes to sleep, | |||
my love, do not wail anymore. | |||
The wings tremble to the breeze, | |||
the fronds do not whisper, | |||
and from the sea, the quiet waves | |||
do not make hear any sound. | |||
Every nocturnal bird keep quiet | |||
in these such quiet hours; | |||
close your eyes to sleep, | |||
my love, do not wail anymore. | |||
Sacred spheres encircling | |||
the Child's humble throne, | |||
I by singing, and you with your sound, | |||
let us put an end to his wail. | |||
But, please, conceal from his sight | |||
your shining sparks; | |||
close your eyes to sleep, | |||
my love, do not wail anymore. | |||
