Night Desire/ Nachtwunsch/ Deseo De Noche

Sleep well my son and soon night comes to soothe you with your dreams. The bright moon is your nightly sun which shines with whitish gleams. Shadows grow tiny now and hide behind the light a new day brings you joy and fun and makes your smile so bright. ----------------------------------------------- Schlaf wohl, mein Sohn, bald kommt die Nacht, besänftigt dich mit deinen Träumen. Schlaf ruhig ein mein Sohn, du kannst sie nicht versäumen. Der helle Mond ist deine Sonne dann mit seinem weißen Schein, dem fahlen. Erlöst dich von der Schwere dann, von allen Qualen. Die Schatten werden jetzt ganz klein, verstecken sich hinter dem Licht ein neuer Tag bringt Freude dir und Spaß und lässt den Lächeln strahlen. ----------------------------------------------- Que duermas bien, hijo mío, pronto llegará la noche para calmarte con tus sueños. Y duerme tranquilo aunque que sean pequeños. La luna brillante entonces es tu sol con su luz pálida y blanca. Las sombras ya disminuen en instante esconden ya detrás la luz los llevan adelante. Un nuevo día traerá la alegría brillando con sonrisa.

How very lovely. Much better than a bedtime fairy tale. Hope you have a wonderful day! Scarlett

What a wonderful way to send a child off to dreamland. Gert, you are amazing in any language you choose! Looking forward to reading more of your work when I get home. Sigh -- vacation ends when I fly home tomorrow night. Love, Carolyn

Magandang gabi rin sa 'yo Gert :) Sana mas maigi na ang kalagayan mo (I hope that you are feeling better) My mom also suffers from sciatica and I sure hope that your bouts with it are rare... I really like this--very comforting and sweet write :)-- I'm a bit familiar with some of your Spanish words here, way too cool! Like brillante, blanca, hijo, noche, luz & nuevo! :) enjoy your Saturday :) --nikko :)

Hey Gert! How are you? Is that painting of you on the facebook? It sort of reminded me of you.
