Staubkind Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

fragst nach dem wunderland
aus dem buch in deiner hand
wo all deine trume sind
hinter dem weien licht
wartet die fee auf dich
nur noch ein allerletzter kuss
schlaf ein mein kind
schlaf tief und fest
nur noch ich bin bei dir
schlaf ein mein kind
mach die augen zu
ich bin bei dir
..heut nacht
schlaf ein mein kind bald kommt die nacht
und der himmel dreht sich ber dir




hab keine angst es tut nicht weh
und der wind singt dir sein letztes lied

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Schlaflied" by Staubkind are in German and can be translated to English as follows:


"Do you ask about Wonderland
From the book in your hand
Where all your dreams are
Behind the white light
The fairy is waiting for you
Just one last kiss
Fall asleep, my child
Sleep deep and tight
Only I am with you
Fall asleep, my child
Close your eyes
I am with you..
Tonight
Fall asleep, my child, the night is coming soon
And the sky is spinning above you
Don't be afraid, it doesn't hurt
And the wind sings you its last song"


The song is essentially a lullaby being sung by a parent or caregiver to a child, reassuring them that they are safe and loved. The references to Wonderland and fairies suggest that the singer is trying to comfort the child with whimsical and magical imagery. The lyrics also touch on the idea of death, with the mention of the night and the sky spinning, but the overall tone is one of reassurance and comfort.
