Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Sterne der blauen
Himmlischen Auen,
Grüßt mir das Mädchen,
Das ich geliebt!

Weit in die Ferne
Möcht' ich so gerne
Wo das geliebte
Mädchen mir weilt.

Schweigende Sterne,
Grüßt mir die Ferne,
Grüßt mir das Mädchen,
Das ich geliebt!

Sterne der blauen
Himmlischen Auen,
Treuliche Winde,
Küßt sie von mir!

Stumme Vertraute
Küßt mir die Braut
Bringt ihr auch Tränen,
Tränen von mir.

Ach, ich muß weinen,
Tränen der Einen,
Tränen der Sehnsucht,
Teuere, dir.

Hunkering

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

Sterren der blauwe
Hemelse gouwen,
Groet mij het meisje
Waar ik van houd!
 
Ver over d' aarde
Reisde ik gaarne,
Waar mijn beminde
Meisje mij wacht.
 
Zwijgende sterren,
Groet ginder verre,
Groet daar het meisje
Waar ik van houd!
 
Sterren der blauwe
Hemelse gouwen,
Loyale winden,
Kus haar van mij!
 
Zwijgende vrienden,
Kus mij de bruid,
Al breng je tranen,
Tranen van mij!
 
Ach, ik moet wenen,
Tranen om Ene,
Tranen van hunk'ring,
Liefste, naar jou.
