Christmas Carol: Quiet, because the child wants to sleep
This graceful lullaby was probably written down around 1800 in the Salzkammergut after a long oral tradition.

1. Quiet, quiet, quiet, because the little child wants to sleep!
Maria sings it down, offering
her great love.
Quiet, quiet, quiet, because the little child wants to sleep.
2. Sleep, sleep, sleep, my dear child, sleep!
The little angels make beautiful music,
the little manger rejoices.
Sleep, sleep, sleep, my dear child, sleep!
3. Big, big, big, love is oversized!
God has left the throne of heaven
and must travel the roads.
Big, big, big, love is oversized!
