Eingewiegt von Meereswellen Und von träumenden Gedanken, Lieg' ich still in der Kajüte, In dem dunkeln Winkelbette. Durch die offne Luke schau' ich Droben hoch die hellen Sterne, Die geliebten, süßen Augen Meiner süßen Vielgeliebten. Die geliebten, süßen Augen Wachen über meinem Haupte, Und sie blinken und sie winken Aus der blauen Himmelsdecke. Nach der blauen Himmelsdecke Schau' ich selig lange Stunden, Bis ein weißer Nebelschleier Mir verhüllt die lieben Augen.

Bercé par les vagues de la mer, Et par des pensées rêveuses, Je suis couché dans ma cabine, Sur la sombre couchette d'angle. Par le hublot ouvert je regarde Là-haut les claires étoiles Les doux yeux adorés De ma chère bien-aimée. Les doux yeux adorés Veillent au-dessus de ma tête Et ils scintillent et clignent Sur la voute bleue du ciel. Pendant de longues heures je regarde Avec sérénité la voute bleue du ciel, Jusqu'à ce qu'un blanc voile de brume Me cache les yeux chéris.
