Viel tausend Sterne prangen
am Himmel still und schön,
und wecken mein Verlangen,

wie blick' ich stets so gerne
zu eurem Glanz hinauf! -

Plusieurs milliers d'étoiles brillent
Belles et silencieuses dans le ciel
Et réveillent mon désir
De sortir dans la campagne.
Ô étoiles éternelles et belles
Dans votre course éternelle et constante,
Comme j'aime toujours regarder
Votre éclat.
