[V2]
Nun sollen wir loben
den Höchsten dort oben,
dass er uns die Nacht
hat wollen behüten
vor Schrecken und Wüten
der höllischen Macht.

[V3]
Kommt, lasset uns singen,
die Stimmen erschwingen,
zu danken dem Herrn.
Ei bittet und flehet,
dass er uns beistehet
und weiche nicht fern.

[V4]
Es sei ihm gegeben
mein Leben und Streben,
mein Gehen und Stehn.
Er gebe mir Gaben
zu meinem Vorhaben,
lass richtig mich gehen.

[V5]
In meinem Studieren
wird er mich wohl führen
und bleiben bei mir,
wird schärfen die Sinnen
zu meinem Beginnen
und öffnen die Tür.

in ihre Nestelein.

Das Heimchen in dem Ährengrund

es tut allein sich kund.

Schlafe, schlafe,

schlaf du, mein Kindelein.

Sandmännchen kommt geschlichen

und guckt durchs Fensterlein,

ob irgend noch ein Kindchen

nicht mag zu Bette sein.

Und wo er nur ein Kindlein fand,

streut er ins Aug ihm Sand.

Schlafe, schlafe,

schlaf du, mein Kindelein.

Sandmännchen, aus dem Zimmer!

Es schläft mein Herzchen fein.

Es ist gar fest verschlossen

schon sein Guckäugelein.

Es leuchtet morgen mir Willkomm,

das Äugelein so fromm.

Schlafe, schlafe,

schlaf du, mein Kindelein.

Composed by Karel Svoboda
Lyrics by Florian Cusano
Performed (most notably) by Karel Gott for the popular German TV
series “Biene Maja”

The notes marked with an * are actually an ais (A#) and in that octave
would require a 6 overblow to play, but the notes given should make
the melody sound right.

4 -5 -6 -8 7 -6 -5 6
In einem unbekannten Land,
4 -4 -5 -7* -6 6 -8 7
vor gar nicht allzulanger Zeit,
4 -5 -6 -8 7 -6 -5 6
war eine Biene sehr bekannt,
4 -4 -5 -7* -6 6 -4 -5
von der sprach alles weit und breit.

7 -8 8 -9 8 8 -8 -8 7 7 -5 6 -8
Und diese Biene, die ich meine nennt sich Maja,
8 -8 -8 7 7 -6* -7 6 -5 -9
kleine, freche, schlaue Biene Maja,
-10 -9 -9 7 7 -6 -7*
Maja fliegt durch ihre Welt,
9 8 8 7 7 -7* -6
zeigt uns das was ihr gefällt.
7 -8 8 -9 8 8 -8 -8 7 7 -5 6 -8
Wir treffen heute uns’re Freundin Biene Maja,
8 -8 -8 7 7 -6* -7 6 -5 -9
diese kleine freche schlaue Maja,
-10 -9 -9 7 7 -6 -8 -9
Maja, alle lieben Maja,
-9 7 -9 7 -10 -9 -6 8 8 -9 9 -9
Maja, Maja, Maja, erzähle uns von dir.

Go to sleep you little baby
Go to sleep you little baby
Everybody’s gone in the cotton and the corn
Didn’t leave nobody but the baby

You’re sweet little baby
You’re sweet little baby
Honey in the rock and the sugar don’t stop
Gonna bring a bottle to the baby

Don’t you weep pretty baby
Don’t you weep pretty baby
She’s long gone with the red shoes on
Gonna meet another lovin` baby

Go to sleep you little baby
Go to sleep you little baby
You and me and the devil makes three
Don’t need no other lovin` baby

Go to sleep you little baby
Go to sleep you little baby
Come and lay your bones on the alabaster stones
And be my ever lovin` baby

Did you ever have to finally decide
Say yes to one and let the other one ride
There`s so many changes and tears you must hide
Did you ever have to finally decide

And then you know you better make up your mind
And pick up on one and leave the other behind
It`s not often easy and not often kind
Did you ever have to make up your mind

5.same as verse 3.

Sometimes you really dig a girl the moment you
kiss her
And then you get distracted by her older sister
When in walks the father and takes you in line
And says “better go home son and make up your mind”

6.same as verse 1.

Then you bet you better finally decide
And say yes to one and let the other one ride
There`s so many changes and tears you must hide
Did you ever have to finally decide
