Viel tausend Sterne prangen

Ontelbare sterren pralen

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Ontelb're sterren pralen
Daarboven, mooi en stil;
Zij gaan mij overhalen
Dat ik het veld in wil.

O eeuwig mooie sterren,
Gaand in een eeuw'ge boog,
Hoe graag kijk ik -- zo verre --
Naar jullie pracht omhoog!
