Ty hvězdičky tam na nebi
Language: Czech (Čeština)
Ty hvězdičky tam na nebi, to veliké jsou světy; a já bych jenom věděl rád, jaké tam tvory vsety. Zda také někdo odtamtud se k nám sem dolů dívá, a jestli tam, jako zde já, o lásce písně zpívá.

Die Sterne auf dem Himmelszelt
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Czech (Čeština)
Die Sterne auf dem Himmelszelt die sind gar große Erden; ich möchte gerne wissen nur, ob sie bewohnet werden. Ob Jemand auch von oben her auf uns hier schauet nieder. Und ob er dann, so wie ich hier, auch singet Liebeslieder.
From the Dvořák score.
