Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE ITA SPA
Blaues Sternlein, du sollst schweigen,
Das Geheimnis gib nicht kund,
Sollst nicht allen Leuten zeigen
Unsern stillen [Liebesbund]1.

Mögen and're stehn in Schmerzen,
Jeder sage, was er will;
Sind zufrieden unsre Herzen,
Sind wir beide gerne still.
