Do you recall that night in June,
Upon the Danube River?
We listened to a Ländler-tune,
We watch'd the moonbeams quiver.
I oft since then have watch'd the moon,
But never, love, Oh! never
Can I forget that night in June,
Upon the Danube River.

Our boat kept measure with its oar,
The music rose in snatches,
From peasants dancing on the shore,
With boist'rous songs and catches.
I know not why that Ländler rang
Thro' all my soul, but never
Can I forget the songs they sang
Upon the Danube River.
