Language: German (Deutsch)
Ein schöner Stern geht auf in meiner Nacht, Ein Stern, der süßen Trost herniederlacht Und neues Leben mir verspricht -- O, lüge nicht! Gleichwie das Meer dem Mond entgegenschwillt, So flutet meine Seele, froh und wild, Empor zu deinem holden Licht -- O, lüge nicht!

Как две звезды сквозь синий мрак ночей, Сияет мне краса твоих очей. Мне много благ сулят они, Не обмани, не обмани. Как диск луны скользит в седых волнах, Твоя душа видна в твоих глазах. Сияют кротостью они, Не обмани, не обмани.
