4th Grade Magnet - "Still Still Still" - German Verse

Ms. Lopez and Mr. Anderson's class -- here is a recording of "Still, Still, Still," the Austrian holiday song we have been working on the last couple of weeks. I do not have a recording of the vocal in English, but I do have the verse in German. Trying singing along with it. (Remember "w" is pronounced "v.") You can also try singing the English words posted here "karioke style" against the instrumental part of the track. As you will see there is enough space for all three verses.

Still, Still, Still
Traditional Austrian Carol

Still, still, still
Weils Kindlein schlafen will.
Maria tut es
Neider singen.
Seine grosse
Lieb dar bringen.
Still, Still, Still
Weils Kindlein schlafen will.

Sleep, Sleep, Sleep
My dearest child now sleep.
The guardian angels
Dearly love you.
Singing softly
There above you.
Sleep, Sleep, Sleep
My dearest child now sleep.

Dream, dream, dream
A lovely shining dream.
Across the deep blue
Heavens yonder,
Lightly from star to star
You’ll wander.
Dream, dream, dream
A lovely shining dream.

  1. I sang this song in 6th grade in 1975.
    I sang the first to my four children.
    I could never remember the second verse.
    Thank you!
    Very grateful!
