Good Evening, Good Night Good Evening, Good Night MP3 (0,9 MB)

Good evening, good night,
May your slumber be light,
May your dreams be deep
As the Gods watch your sleep.
In the morning you´ll rise
and be healthy and wise,
In the morning you´ll rise
and be healthy and wise.

Good evening, good night,
As Mani shines bright,
Close your eyes now and rest,
May your slumber be blest.
In the morning´s fair skies
you will see Sunna rise,
In the morning´s fair skies
you will see Sunna rise.

Tune: "Wiegenlied, Opus 49 Number 4" by Johannes Brahms (1833 - 1897), German composer.
First written as an instrumental symphony, the vocal version was later made by Brahms for Bertha Faber,
a young mother who wanted a new song to sing to her first newborn child.
The vocal version´s title "Guten Abend, Gute Nacht" translates as "Good Evening, Good Night."
