Mein Liebchen, wir sassen beisammen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Mein Liebchen, wir sassen beisammen, Traulich im leichten Kahn. Die Nacht war still, und wir schwammen Auf weiter Wasserbahn. Die Geisterinsel, die schöne, Lag dämm'rig im Mondenglanz; Dort klangen liebe Töne, Dort wogte der Nebeltanz. Dort klang es lieb und lieber, Und wogt' es hin und her; Wir aber schwammen vorüber, Trostlos auf weitem Meer.

Kultaseni, me istuimme yhdessä
Language: Finnish (Suomi) after the German (Deutsch)
Kultaseni, me istuimme yhdessä lähekkäin pienessä veneessä; yö oli vaiti, ja me kelluimme aavalla ulapalla. Kaunis Aavesaari lepäsi haaveillen kuun loisteessa; siellä kaikuivat suloiset sävelet, siellä sumu aaltoili kuin tanssissa. Musiikki kaikui yhä suloisempana, ja aaltoili joka suuntaan; mutta me ajelehdimme ohitse toivottomina aavalla merellä.
