Der Himmel hat keine Sterne so klar,
Das Meer so keine Korallen,
Wie mir ein Menschenaugenpaar
Und Menschenlippen gefallen.

Er wandert unter den Sternen dahin,
Er wandert über die Meere,
Er geht mir immer nur durch den Sinn,
Dem ich zu eigen gehöre!

Il n'y a pas au ciel d'étoile plus claire

(Sung text translation for setting by A. Zemlinsky)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Il n'y a pas au ciel d'étoile plus claire,
Et dans la mer un tel corail,
Que les deux yeux d'une personne
Et ses lèvres qui me plaisent tant.

Il voyage là-bas sous les étoiles,
Il voyage sur les mers
Il passe sans cesse dans mes pensées,
Celui à qui j'appartiens
