Silvery moon in the velvet sky. Your light shines far in the heavens. Over the world wondering, Gazing in human dwellings.
Oh moon, stay a while, Stay with me. Tell me, oh where is my lover? Oh moon, please stay a while, Stay with me. Tell me, oh where is my love, where?
Tell him, oh tell him, silver moon. That in my arms I enfold him. Tell him in dreams to think of me, Even if only for a moment.
Shine on him where he may be. Shine on him, Tell him, oh tell him I am here waiting. Shine on him where he may be. Shine on him. Tell him, oh tell him I am here waiting.
If a human soul should dream of me. May he still remember me on waking. Dear moon, oh shine for him, Shine for him, shine for him, oh shine for him.
