.

In the still, silent night,
our body will rest.
But our soul the angel takes,
the angel takes him for a walk.

And follows the mysterious turn,
mysterious that the sun will give
behind the woods, behind the mountains,
behind the land, behind the sea.

And on that return all the flowers
get the colors they will show,
and the birds also learn
new songs to sing.

And in that turn our soul
receive all that God gives you.
Get lighter, get firmer
on the new day to come.
