lyrics for brahms lullabye.?

Johannes Brahms' original version was composed in German:

Guten Abend, gute Nacht, mit Rosen bedacht,

Mit Näglein besteckt, schlüpf unter die Deck!'

Morgen früh, wenn Gott will, wirst du wieder geweckt

Morgen früh, wenn Gott will, wirst du wieder geweckt

Guten Abend, gute Nacht, von Englein bewacht

Die zeigen im Traum, dir Christkindleins Baum

Schlaf nun selig und süß, schau im Traum 's Paradies

Schlaf nun selig und süß, schau im Traum 's Paradies

The most common English version is as follows:

Lullaby and good night, with roses bedight

With lilies o'er spread is baby's wee bed

Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed

Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed

Lullaby and good night, thy mother's delight

Bright angels beside my darling abide

They will guard thee at rest, thou shalt wake on my breast

They will guard thee at rest, thou shalt wake on my breast

Further verses from various sources may be added to lengthen the lullaby:

Sleepyhead, close your eyes, mother's right here beside you.

I'll protect you from harm, you will wake in my arms.

Guardian angels are near, so sleep on, with no fear.

Guardian angels are near, so sleep on, with no fear.

Lullaby, and sleep tight, hush! My darling is sleeping,

On his sheets white as cream, with his head full of dreams.

When the sky's bright with dawn, he will wake in the morning.

When noontide warms the world, he will frolic in the sun.

Go to sleep, little one, think of puppies and kittens.

Go to sleep, little one, think of butterflies in spring.

Go to sleep, little one, think of sunny bright mornings.

Go to sleep, little one, sleep tight through the night.

Lullaby, and good night, with pink roses bedight,

With lilies o'er spread, is my baby's sweet head.

Lay thee down now, and rest, may thy slumber be blessed!

Lay thee down now, and rest, may thy slumber be blessed!

Lullaby, and good night, your mother's delight,

Shining angels beside my darling abide.

Soft and warm is your bed, close your eyes and rest your head.

Soft and warm is your bed, close your eyes and rest your head.

Sleepyhead, close your eyes. mother's right here beside you.

I'll protect you from harm, you will wake in my arms.

Guardian angels are near, so sleep on, with no fear.

Guardian angels are near, so sleep on, with no fear

Hope this helpd:)
