Mein Liebchen, wir sassen beisammen,
Traulich im leichten Kahn.
Die Nacht war still, und wir schwammen
Auf [weiter]1 Wasserbahn.

Die Geisterinsel, die schöne,
Lag dämm'rig im Mondenglanz;
Dort klangen liebe Töne,
[Dort]2 wogte der Nebeltanz.

Dort klang es lieb und lieber,
Und wogt' es hin und her;
Wir aber schwammen vorüber,
Trostlos auf weitem Meer.

В лёгком челне мы с тобою
 (Sung text for setting by V. Aloiz)
 See original
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the German (Deutsch) 
В лёгком челне мы с тобою
Плыли по быстрым волнам…
Тихая ночь навевала
Грёзы блаженные нам…

Остров стоял, как виденье,
Лунным лучом осиян;
Песни оттуда звучали
Сквозь серебристый туман.

Песни туда нас манили…
Но, сильна, и темна,
В море, в широкое море
Грозно влекла нас волна.
