Translation by Hermann Kurz (1813 - 1873)

Das Mondlicht scheint in Fülle
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Portuguese (Português) 
Das Mondlicht scheint in Fülle 
Mit der Gestirne Glast: 
Wir gehen froh und stille 
Und halten uns umfaßt. 
Und von der Nacht Gewande 
Strömt mächtig über die Lande 
Und löset alle Bande 
Der Thau der süßen Rast. 

O Zauber ohne Ende! 
So göttlich bist du nicht, 
Als wenn mein Lieb die Hände 
Mir um den Nacken flicht. 
Von jener goldnen Ferne 
Wend' ich die Augen gerne -- 
Mir leuchten nur zwei Sterne, 
Und doch mit hell'rem Licht.
