Close Your Eyes
Berger Petra Lyrics

Close your eyes, the children are asleep,
Go to sleep and rest, for the children are asleep and everything is peaceful.

The night will surely keep, my Queen.
This evening will be safe, and there is nothing to worry about, my Queen.

Close your eyes, to tides that run too deep,
Don't be worried about everything that's happening around you or things that you cannot change.

I know sometimes you weep unseen.
I know you often cry alone without anyone seeing you.

While you dream, the treason and the fear,
In your dreams, all your fears and concerns will vanish

Will all but disappear, subside.
Everything will become calm and peaceful, and you'll forget all that troubles you.

Close your eyes, the evening is still and clear,
Everything is settled and peaceful, so feel free to get some rest.

The fight is nowhere near tonight.
There is no fight or battles to fight tonight.

Dream of when you were the brightest star in all of France,
Remember a time when you were admired and respected by all of France.

Dream of when you were the celebrated young dauphine,
Recall when you were the beloved young queen and everyone respected and admired you.

Mistress of every dance.
You were the center of every event and occasion.

The most benign young queen, they'd ever seen
You were the most benign and peaceful of all the young queens who'd ever ruled.

Close your eyes, deny them how you feel,
Don't show your inner thoughts and feelings to others, ignore them if you have to.

Unlock your chains and heal your heart
Free yourself from emotional bondage and heal your heart.

Close your eyes, remember love was real,
Remember the love experiences you had, and they are genuine.

For memories they can't steal or guard
While no one can rob or control the memories we cherish, these experiences will always remain with you.

While you sleep, though death may pass you by
Although you may be asleep, and the threat of death passes by without harm to you.

He'll never slip inside unseen
Death is not something that you need to worry about.

Dry your eyes, and hold your head up high,
Wipe your tears and face your challenges with confidence.

They wouldn't dare defy their Queen
The people who love and care about you, would never dare to disobey you.

When the demons appear
When things become challenging and difficult,

We'll rise and fight,
We'll work hard and stand up for ourselves,

We'll run,
We'll do our best to keep moving forward and persevering,

We'll hide
We will use stealth and cunning to overcome our problems if necessary.

Try, to sleep, don't cry, just sleep, don't think,
Try to relax and get some sleep without worrying or overthinking.

Don't be sorry, don't feel sad I know how worried you are for your son -
Don't be upset or feel guilty about worrying for your son, I understand how much you care for him.

He'll be just fine
Your son will be okay.

They'll take you to the king,
You'll be brought to the king.

You'll hear the church bells ring, my Queen
As you're being brought to the king, you will hear the bells of the church ringing to show your importance and power, my Queen.

Close your eyes, and let your heart take wing,
Close your eyes and allow yourself to be free and carried by your emotions.

You'll hear the angels sing, be free
As the angels sing your praises, you'll be able to feel free and at peace.
