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
