O moonlight deep and tender, A year and more agone, Your mist of golden splendor Round my betrothal shone! O elm-leaves dark and dewy, The very same ye seem, The low wind trembles through ye, Ye murmur in my dream! O river, dim with distance, Flow thus forever by, A part of my existence Within your heart doth lie! O stars, ye saw our meeting, Two beings and one soul, Two hearts so madly beating To mingle and be whole! O happy night, deliver Her kisses back to me, Or keep them all, and give her A blisslul dream of me!

哦月光深沉温柔， 就在一年多前， 金色光辉的迷雾 将我订婚照圆！ 哦榆叶黑又露多， 像看起来一般， 微风将你们吹过， 在我梦里自言！ 哦河流，遥远黯淡， 如此永流莫驻， 我存在的一方面 在你内心深处！ 星啊，见我们相逢， 两人一个灵魂， 两颗心疯狂跳动 融为一体不分！ 哦快乐夜晚，传递 她给我的回吻， 或者全留，给她一 幸福梦想如锦！
