Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the sky stars are bright
'Round your head
Flowers gay
Set your slumbers till day
Lullaby and good night
In the sky stars are bright
Flowers gay
Set you slumbers till day
Close your eyes
Now and rest
May these hours
Be blessed
Close your eyes
Now and rest
May these hours
Be blessed
Bonne nuit cher enfant
Dans tes langes blancs
Repose joyeux
En rêvant des cieux
Oh, oh
Quand le jour reviendra
Tu te réveilleras
Quand le jour reviendra
Tu te réveilleras
Mmm
Lullaby and good night
In the sky stars are bright
'Round your head
Flowers gay
Set your slumbers till day
The lyrics to Celine Dion's "Brahms' Lullaby" serve as a soothing, calming melody to put children to sleep. The opening lines "Lullaby and good night, in the sky stars are bright" introduce the theme of nighttime, a time for rest and relaxation. The second line, "around your head, flowers gay," reminds us of nature's beauty and the peace it can bring to our minds.
The next verse, "Close your eyes now and rest, may these hours be blessed," is a reassuring message to the child that they can relax and let go of any worries or anxieties they may have. The repetition of the phrase "lullaby and good night" reinforces the peaceful mood of the song, making it an ideal choice for a calming bedtime melody.
The final verse is in French, translating to "Good night dear child, in your white cradle, rest joyfully while dreaming of the heavens. When the day returns, you will wake up." This verse invokes a sense of security and safety for the child, with the promise that they will wake up to a new day.
While the song is commonly known as "Brahms' Lullaby," it was actually composed by Johannes Brahms in 1868 as a song for voice and piano, with the original German lyrics taken from a collection of folk poems. Since then, the melody has been used in numerous lullabies and nursery rhymes, and has become a widely recognized classic.

Two weeks ago my daughter died. I used to sing this to her when she was a baby, now I miss her so much and my heart is broken.

I’m so sorry my heart hurts for you. Hugs from East Texas
@sitavita
I wish I could hug you and give you peace. No parent should ever have to endure the pain of losing their children. Please find solace in knowing that your daughter is still with you hugging you and praying with you to find your way to live your life for her and with her in your heart.
