Du lieblicher Stern,
Du leuchtest von fern,
Doch hab ich dich denoch 
Von Herzen so gern.

Wie lieb ich doch dich
So herzinniglich!
Dein funkelndes Äuglein
Blickt immer auf mich.

So blick ich nach dir,
Sei's dort oder hier:
Dein freundliches Äuglein
Steht immer vor mir.

Wie nickst du mir zu
In fröhlicher Ruh!
O liebliches Sternlein,
O wär ich wie du!

L’estrella del vespre

(Sung text translation for setting by O. Dresel)

See original

Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)

Tu gentil estrella,
resplendeixes tan lluny,
però tanmateix et porto
de grat al meu cor.

Oh, com t’estimo,
tan entranyablement!
Els teus ullets centellejants
sempre m’esguarden.

Així, jo també t’esguardo,
ja siguis aquí o allà:
els teus amables ullets
sempre són al meu davant.

Com em fas senyals
en una pau joiosa!
Oh gentil estrelleta
si jo pogués ser com tu!
