| #3 All this is part of the "Christmas Story" of Carl Orff (the composer of Carmina Burana) which I'm proud of playing a little part in. Orff gave music lessons in our school in the 1960s. |

| #2 A translation of this Austrian Christmas song: It's getting dark, night is falling, so I'm coming to you, my savior, on the watch. I want to sing a song to the lamb, the sweetest, you don't sleep, I just hear you crying. Sleep sweetly, dear child! Forget now, oh child, your sorrows, your troubles, that you have to suffer there in the stable on the hay. The angels are decorating your bed, it couldn't be more beautiful, even in a king's house. Home, home, home! Sweet dreams, dear child! Yes, my child, you are so beautiful in the crib, it suits me, I can't bear to leave you. I wish you from my heart the sweetest rest, the angels of heaven cover you. Here, here, here! Sleep sweetly, you beautiful child! Close your eyes in peace and quiet and give me your blessing as I go. Then my sleep will be carefree too, and I can rest easy when I lie down. Here, here, here! Sleep sweetly, my dear child! |
