Original text and translations

English translation

Starlit is night-time,
tender and deep,
Everywhere round us
children asleep.

Distant, so distant,
sorrow and tears,
All the land over
starlit appears.

Yea, not a grief but
grows like a star,
Out of the distance
shining afar.

Translation by John Troutbeck

German text

Nacht voller Sterne
Dunkel und lind,
Nahe und ferne
Schlummert jed' Kind.

Ferne, so ferne
Klage und Leid,
Überall Sterne
Über der Haid'.

Zur einem Sterne
Ward ja jed' Leid --
Drum aus der Ferne
Schimmert's so weit.
