Du Mondenschein
Language: German (Deutsch)
Du Mondenschein,
[Strahl']1 du in meines Liebchens Kämmerlein
Mit deinem milden Lichte voll hinein,
Und flicht das Wort in ihre Träume ein,
Daß ich sie liebe, sie nur ganz allein;
Du Mondenschein!

You moonlight
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
You moonlight,
[Shine]1 into my darling's little chamber
Brightly with your gentle radiance,
And weave into her dreams the word
That I love her, love only and solely her;
You moonlight!
