ENGLISH LYRICS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
D F#m7 Bm7 Em7 A7 D
Still, still, still; to sleep is now his will
Em7 A7 D D#dim7
On Mary’s breast He rests in slumber
Em7 A7 D Em7 A7
While we pray in endless num-ber
D F#m7 Bm7 Em7 A7 D
Still, still, still; to sleep is now his will
D F#m7 Bm7 Em7 A7 D
Sleep, sleep, sleep; while we thy vigil keep
Em7 A7 D D#dim7
And angels come from Heaven singing
Em7 A7 D Em7 A7
Songs of jubilation bringing
D F#m7 Bm7 Em7 A7 D
Sleep, sleep, sleep; while we thy vigil keep
Different translation:
Still, still, still, one can hear the falling snow.
For all is hushed, the world is sleeping,
Holy Star its vigil keeping.
Still, still, still, one can hear the falling snow.
Sleep, sleep, sleep, ’tis the eve of our Saviour’s birth.
The night is peaceful all around you,
Close your eyes, Let sleep surround you.
Sleep, sleep, sleep, ’tis the eve of our Saviour’s birth.
Dream, dream, dream, of the joyous day to come.
While guardian angels without number,
Watch you as you sweetly slumber.
Dream, dream, dream, of the joyous day to come.
Still, still, still, let baby sleep its fill,
The angels are all jubilating
By the manger, music making.
Still, still, still, let baby sleep its fill.
