Brahms lullaby...please, I need the lyrics...but...?

Question

...but not the ones you can find on the internet, but a special children's version that begins like

"Lullaby, and good night, may my baby sleep tight..."

In Germany noone could help me so far...maybe you can?

Thanks!

the "with roses bedight" are "may my baby sleep tight" and the "lilies" aren't lilies but I cannot understand what she sings...

Answer 1

I never knew the original words, so I made my own words up for my children:

Hush a bye, hush a bye
Close... your eyes now
Hush a bye, hush a bye
Go to sleep, go night night
For mummy is here
Close your eyes, shed no tears
Hush a bye, hush a bye
Go to sleep, go night night:-)

It worked wonders for six of them and all my kids grew up thinking they were real the words!

Answer 3

is this it?

Brahms Lullaby (Lullaby and Good Night)

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

(original German)
Guten Abend, gute Nacht, Mit Rosen bedacht,
Mit Naeglein besteckt, schlupf unter die Deck'
Morgen frueh, wenn Gott will, wirst du wieder geweckt
Morgen frueh, 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 suess, Schau im Traum's Paradies
Schlaf nun selig und suess, Schau im Traum's Paradies

Lullaby and Good Night
(Brahms' Lullaby)
Written By: Johannes Brahms

Lullaby, and good night,
With pink roses bedight,
With lilies o'erspread,
Is my baby's sweet head.
Lay you down now, and rest,
May your slumber be blessed!
Lay you down now, and rest,
May thy slumber be blessed!

Lullaby, and good night,
You're 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.

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.
