Aan de avondster

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Schumann)

See original

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

Zweef omhoog ten hemel,
Mooie avondster!
Meer dan and're sterren
Ben jij populair.

Gaan zij op of onder
Aan de hemelrand,
Geen van al je zusters
Straalt zo imposant.

Zweef omhoog ten hemel,
Mooie avondster!
Meer dan and're sterren
Ben jij populair.
