Select language to translate this lyric

I hear you
I hear you call
I pity you
I am your friend
I am not cruel
give me your hand
you will sleep so softly in my arms
when love breaks free from sorrow
a new star shines
a new star shines
three roses, half red, half white
they will never wither
the angels
they shed their wings
and fall
rest well
rest well
close your eyes
you will rest with me
until the river drains into the sea
Iʼll make a bed for you
the softest pillow
come, rest
everyone will sing for you
for you
I will protect you
from the hunter, from the forest
from the flowers, from your dreams
from the wicked girl, from her shadow
I will keep your eyes covered
I will protect you
good night, good night
