Blaues Sternlein, du sollst schweigen
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)
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.

Petite étoile bleue
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Petite étoile bleue, tu dois te taire, Ne révèle pas le secret. Tu ne dois pas montrer à tout le monde Le lien silencieux entre nos cœurs. Les autres peuvent rester dans la douleur, Qu'ils disent ce qu'ils veulent ; Nos cœurs sont contents, Nous sommes heureux tous les deux en silence.
