Translated lyrics
"Every night the wind hums through the trees. Go to sleep, blow out the candle - the road is empty tonight." -liner notes from "A Legacy of Lullabies" by Tanja Solnik, 1993 DreamSong Recordings Layla - Night 1. Every night, wind is blowing, Every night, foliage murmurs, Every night, a star is twinkling, Go to sleep, blow out the candle*. 2. Every night, close your eyes, Every night, on the way to you Every night, rode Go to sleep, three armed riders. 3. Every night, the first one was torn to pieces, Every night, the second one died at war, Every night, and the one who remains, Go to sleep, doesn't even remember your name. 4. Every night, wind is passing thru, Every night, foliage murmurs, Every night, you alone are waiting, Go to sleep, the road is empty. *addressing a female
