Da nachts wir uns küßten, o Mädchen, hat keiner uns zugeschaut. Die Sterne, die standen am Himmel, wir haben den Sternen getraut. Es ist ein Stern gefallen, der hat dem Meer uns verklagt, da hat das Meer es dem Ruder, das Ruder dem Schiffer gesagt. Da sang der selbige Schiffer es seiner Liebsten vor. Nun singen's auf Straßen und Märkten die Knaben und Mädchen im Chor.

Cette nuit nous nous sommes embrassés, ô ma belle, Personne ne nous a regardés. Les étoiles se tenaient dans le ciel, Nous ne nous sommes confiés qu'aux étoiles. C'est une étoile qui est tombée Qui nous a dénoncés à la mer, Alors la mer l'a dit à l'aviron, L'aviron l'a dit au marin. Alors le même marin l'a chanté À sa bien-aimée. Maintenant dans les rues et au marché, Les garçons et les filles le chantent en chœur.
