Es wird scho glei dumpa — Lyrics
Es wird scho glei dumpa, es wird ja scho Nacht,
drum kimm i zu dir her, mein Heiland, auf d’Wacht.
Will singa a Liadl dem Liabling, dem kloan,
du magst ja net schlafn, i hör’ di nur woan.
Hei hei, hei hei! Schlaf süaß, herzliabs Kind!
Vergiß jetzt, o Kinderl, dein Kumma, dei Load,
dass du da muasst leid’n im Stall auf da Hoad.
Es ziern ja die Engerl dei Liegestatt aus,
möcht schöner net sein drin an König sein Haus.
Hei hei, hei hei! Schlaf süaß, du liabs Kind!

About Es wird scho glei dumpa
This traditional German Christmas carol paints a tender scene of a mother or devoted admirer watching over the infant Jesus. The German lyrics speak of the coming night and the child's suffering, finding solace in the angels who adorn his manger, making it more beautiful than any king's house. The singer expresses a deep desire to stay by the crib, wishing the child the sweetest peace as angels tuck him in. Set for TTBB voices, this sacred piece captures the gentle lullaby nature of the text, inviting the choir to express the profound love and devotion felt for the Christ child.
