Like so much wonderful music,\u00a0Still, Still, Still<\/em>\u00a0comes from Salzburg. \u00a0(Among other things, a fellow named Mozart was born there.)<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
The very title seems to put me right into German mode: \u00a0I actually began, just now, to write that \u201cLike so much wonderful music,\u00a0Still Still Still<\/em>\u00a0kommt aus\u00a0Salzburg.\u201d<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
The standard lyrics read like this:<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n- Still, still, still,<\/dd>\n
- weil\u2019s Kindlein schlafen will!<\/dd>\n
- Die Engel tun sch\u00f6n jubilieren,<\/dd>\n
- Bei dem Kripplein musizieren.<\/dd>\n
- Stille, stille, stille,<\/dd>\n
- Weil\u2019s Kindlein schlafen will.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
\n- (2) Schlaf, schlaf, schlaf,<\/dd>\n
- Mein liebes Kindlein, schlaf!<\/dd>\n
- Maria tut dich [es] niedersingen<\/dd>\n
- Und ihr treues Herz darbringen.<\/dd>\n
- Schlaf, schlaf, schlaf,<\/dd>\n
- Mein liebes Kindlein, schlaf!<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
\n- (3) Gro\u00df, gro\u00df, gro\u00df,<\/dd>\n
- Die Lieb\u2019 ist \u00fcbergro\u00df.<\/dd>\n
- Gott hat den Himmelsthron verlassen<\/dd>\n
- Und mu\u00df reisen auf der Stra\u00dfen.<\/dd>\n
- Gro\u00df, gro\u00df, gro\u00df,<\/dd>\n
- Die Lieb\u2019 ist \u00fcbergro\u00df.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
\n- (4) Auf, auf, auf,<\/dd>\n
- Ihr Adamskinder auf!<\/dd>\n
- Fallet Jesum all zu F\u00fc\u00dfen,<\/dd>\n
- Weil er f\u00fcr uns d\u2019S\u00fcnd tut b\u00fc\u00dfen!<\/dd>\n
- Auf, auf, auf,<\/dd>\n
- Ihr Adamskinder auf!<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
\n- (5) Wir, wir, wir,<\/dd>\n
- Wir rufen all zu dir:<\/dd>\n
- \u201cTu uns des Himmels Reich aufschlie\u00dfen,<\/dd>\n
- Wenn wir einmal sterben m\u00fcssen.<\/dd>\n
- Wir, wir, wir,<\/dd>\n
- Wir rufen all zu dir.\u201d<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
\n- (6) Ruh\u2019t, ruh\u2019t, ruh\u2019t,<\/dd>\n
- Weil\u2019s Kindlein schlafen tut.<\/dd>\n
- Sankt Josef l\u00f6scht das Lichtlein aus,<\/dd>\n
- Die Englein sch\u00fctzen\u2019s kleine Haus.<\/dd>\n
- Ruh\u2019t, ruh\u2019t, ruh\u2019t,<\/dd>\n
- Weil\u2019s Kindlein schlafen tut.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
And here\u2019s my rough, non-artistic, literal translation:<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n- Quiet, quiet, quiet,<\/dd>\n
- because the little child wants to sleep!<\/dd>\n
- The angels are beautifully rejoicing,<\/dd>\n
- making music by the little crib.<\/dd>\n
- <\/dd>\n
- Quiet, quiet, quiet,<\/dd>\n
- because the little child wants to sleep!<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
\n- (2) Sleep, sleep, sleep,<\/dd>\n
- My dear little child, sleep!<\/dd>\n
- Mary is singing a lullaby to you<\/dd>\n
- and offering her faithful heart.<\/dd>\n
- <\/dd>\n
- Sleep, sleep, sleep,<\/dd>\n
- My dear little child, sleep!<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
\n- (3) Great, great, great,<\/dd>\n
- the love is immensely great.<\/dd>\n
- God has left his heavenly throne<\/dd>\n
- And now must travel on our streets.<\/dd>\n
- <\/dd>\n
- Great, great, great,<\/dd>\n
- the love is immensely great.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
\n- (4) Up, up, up,<\/dd>\n
- You children of Adam, get up!<\/dd>\n
- Fall, all of you, at Jesus\u2019 feet,<\/dd>\n
- Because he atones for all our sins!<\/dd>\n
- <\/dd>\n
- Up, up, up,<\/dd>\n
- You children of Adam, get up!<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
\n- (5)\u00a0We, we, we,<\/dd>\n
- We all call to thee:<\/dd>\n
- \u201cOpen\u00a0the Kingdom of Heaven to us,<\/dd>\n
- when we someday must die.<\/dd>\n
- <\/dd>\n
- We, we, we,<\/dd>\n
- We all call to thee.\u201d<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
\n- (6) Be still, be still, be still,<\/dd>\n
- because the little child is sleeping.<\/dd>\n
- Saint Joseph puts the little light out,<\/dd>\n
- The little angels guard the tiny house.<\/dd>\n
- <\/dd>\n
- Be still, be still, be still,<\/dd>\n
- because the little child is sleeping.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
