Jonas hält den kleinen BärenJonas is holding the little bearUnd der Bär hält auch zurückAnd the bear is holding on tooBeide Augen fallen zuBoth pairs of eyes are closingUnd die Nacht bringt euch das GlückAnd the night brings you good fortuneEinmal war er neu und weichHe was new and soft onceJetzt ist er schon etwas dünnNow he is already a bit thinAber er war jede NachtBut he was there every nightBei dir und das hat einen SinnBeside you and that means somethingSchlaf mein Jonas schlaf jetzt einSleep my Jonas fall asleep nowUnd dein Bär schläft neben dirAnd your bear sleeps next to youSchlaf mein Jonas schlaf jetzt einSleep my Jonas fall asleep nowUnd wir beide bleiben hierAnd the two of us are staying hereMorgen früh dann sucht ihr wiederEarly tomorrow you will look for each otherBeide unter deinem BettBoth of you under your bedAber jetzt ist alles ruhigBut right now everything is quietUnd die Decke liegt schon festAnd the blanket is already tucked inSchlaf mein Jonas schlaf jetzt einSleep my Jonas fall asleep nowUnd dein Bär schläft neben dirAnd your bear sleeps next to youSchlaf mein Jonas schlaf jetzt einSleep my Jonas fall asleep nowUnd wir beide bleiben hierAnd the two of us are staying here

Where the name comes from

Jonas is the German form of Jonah, from the Hebrew Yonah, meaning 'dove.'

Why this moment matters

A stuffed animal that's present for every single dream becomes, quietly, one of the most important objects in a small life.

The story behind this song

A small stuffed bear sleeps tucked under one arm every night, present for every dream.

A bedtime song with a name in it

A slow lullaby built around one child's name: a good night song for bedtime, nap time and the last song of the day.
