That was your mom who I just informed 
Now go back to bed while it's still warm 
Not one thing you need that is not in this lair 
Lay down your arms - you're under my care 

Close those eyes 
Goodnight-night to you 
Go and doze off 
This cold winter through 

And see what time will do 

Let's pull up a chair now Janosch is here 
For Ich mach dich gesund, sagte der Bär 
And when you're fast asleep I will play with your hair 
Through my tears I will breathe you're under my care 

Close those eyes 
Goodnight-night to you 
Go and doze off 
This cold winter through 

The curtain's drawn 
The sun long gone 

Close those eyes 
Goodnight-night to you 
No, I won't take 
A straight no from you 

And when spring arrives we will have to see 
If you're sick of life or - maybe - me
