by Viktor Hirschfeld (1858 - 1940), as Victor Léon

Nachtlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Stern glänzt an Stern gleich Feuerfunken,
Die sich vom Himmelszelte heben.
Mein Lieb und ich, wir blicken trunken
Und süße Lieder uns entschweben.

Wir blicken lange so versunken
Und uns umdämmert Mondesweben.
Wir küssen uns vor Liebe trunken
Und süße Lieder uns entschweben.

Komm, Liebchen, komm! Sanft hingesunken,
Halb schlummernd, fast entrückt dem Leben,
Im Traum höre ich wie trunken
Gar süße Lieder uns entschweben.
