Sleeping Princess Lyrics

(Alexandre Borodin)
English translation: Henry G. Chapman

Hush! Hush!
With lovely eyes
Closed in sleep, the princess lies,
By a fairy charm enchanted,
Doomed to dream in forests haunted:
Hush! Hush!
Pale and wan, as dead she were,
Sleeps the princess ever there.
Hush! Hush!

Sudden on the silence breaking,
Laughing, shouting, merrymaking, Sissel - Sleeping Princess - http://motolyrics.com/sissel/sleeping-princess-lyrics.html
Thro' the gloom the woodnymphs sweep,
Yet they do not break her sleep.

Fast asleep the princess lies,
Wrapped in mystery her eyes,
By a fairy charm enchanted,
Doomed to dream in forests haunted!
Hush! Hush!

Baleful charm and slumber fell:
Will she wake?
Ah, none can tell!
Hush! Hush!
