More and more people are complaining about sleep disorders. Perhaps it is because the world is becoming more and more complex and confusing; that continuous support and security in loving relationships or in safe places is becoming increasingly rare. 
This lullaby is an attempt to create a trance-like, devotional atmosphere, which is a prerequisite for slipping into a deep, restful sleep. In all steps - from composing to mixing - I have always imagined holding a fearful, troubled child in my arms and carefully lulling it until it falls asleep again.
And it is a now almost universally accepted knowledge of sleep psychology that deep, restful sleep is based on trusting inner bonding: An inner loving parent accompanies the inner child so empathetically that it can devote itself completely to a pleasant sleep.
For me, French is the language that is best suited to lead someone who lies awake at night to sleep (again) with appropriate tender words. 

Lyrics in English:

If you can't sleep at night

If you can't sleep at night 
Just listen to that song

Lean gently against a wall 
and wait until your eyelids

Gain weight 
Lead you back to sleep

Imagine me lying beside you
You snuggle up to me

When nightmares come to you 
Then hum that song softly

I will accompany you on the steps 
Until it happens to you

That sleep carries you
The Soul Storm is calming down again

We go to the dormitory together 
Just blindly understand each other there

Each other there 
Each other there
Each other there

Lyrics in French:

Si tu ne peux pas dormir la nuit

Si tu ne peux pas dormir la nuit 
Juste écouter cette chanson.

Appuie-toi doucement sur un mur 
Et attend après que tes paupières

deviennent de plus en plus lourdes
te ramènent au sommeil

Imagine, je suis allongé à côté de toi
Tu te blottis dans mes bras

Quand les cauchemars te hantent 
Puis fredonnez calmement cette chanson

Je t'accompagne sur les marches 
Jusqu'à que ça t'arrive

Le sommeil te porte
La tempête des âmes s'apaisera à nouveau

Nous allons ensemble dans la chambre à coucher 
il y a une compréhension aveugle entre nous deux

Entre nous deux
Entre nous deux
Entre nous deux

Si tu ne peux pas dormir la nuit (If you can`t sleep at night)

Si Tu Ne Peux Pas Dormir La Nuit (If You Can`t Sleep At Night) (Engl. Lyrics In Intro)

Deutscher Singer-Songwriter über fünfzig Jahre alt. Seit fast vierzig Jahren schreibe und singe ich Lieder. Mein Hauptinstrument ist die akustische Gitarre, aber ich mag auch Perkussionsinstrumente (Cajon, Maracas, Gurio). Ich liebe es, melancholische und poetische Balladen zu komponieren. Aber manchmal schreibe ich auch (schwarze) humorvolle Songs, Jazzstyle und -Rocksongs. Meine Hauptsprache ist Deutsch. Aber in Zukunft will ich mehr Songs auf Englisch und vereinzelt auch Französisch schreiben.
In meinen Kompositionen bin ich inspiriert von Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Jacques Brel, Van Morrison und Bob Dylan. Auf meinen Platten spiele und singe ich alles alleine. Meine Vision für die Zukunft ist es, Musiker aus verschiedenen Kulturen zu finden, die gerne ihre Tracks mit mir teilen wollen.
Mein persönliches Mantra ist ein Satz, der von Paul Mccartney auf dem Beatles-Album "Abbey Road auf dem Track "In the end" vor fast Fünfzig Jahren geschrieben wurde:

Die Liebe, die Du bekommst ist gleich der Liebe, die Du gibst.

German singer-songwriter over fifty years old. For almost forty years I have been writing and singing songs. My main instrument is the acoustic guitar, but I also like percussion instruments (Cajon, Maracas, Gurio). I love composing melancholic and poetic ballads. But sometimes I also write (black) humorous songs, jazz style and rock songs. My main language is German. But in the future I want to write more songs in English and occasionally also in French.
In my compositions I am inspired by Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Jacques Brel, Van Morrison and Bob Dylan. On my records I play and sing all by myself. My vision for the future is to find musicians from different cultures who would like to share their tracks with me.
My personal mantra is a sentence written by Paul Mccartney on the Beatles album "Abbey Road on the track "In the end" almost fifty years ago:

The love you take is equal to the love you make.
