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 [durch]1 den Sinn, Dem ich zu eigen gehöre!

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
