Du kleines blitzendes Sternelein, Nun sag mir, was willst du, Du kannst da oben ja seelig sein, Was blinzelst du mir denn zu? Such du dir dein Liebstes im Sternenreihn, Und laß mich mit Blinzeln in Ruh, Ich hab auf Erden ein Sternelein, Das ist viel schöner als du!

You little sparkling star, Tell me now, what do you want, You may be blissful up there on high, Why do you wink at me? Seek your own beloved in the round dance of the stars, And leave me alone with your winking, I have a little star on earth Who is much more beautiful than you!
