Original text and translations

English text

Starry waves, starry waves,
Dancing o’er the sea,
Brightly come, darkly fade,
Die in melody.
Starry waves,
Dancing o’er the deep, blue rolling sea,
Brightly come,
Then darkly fade away in melody,
On the dreaming flowers the moonbeams gently fall,
From the myrtle bowers the night birds softly call,
From the lonely shore I gaze upon the sea,
With silver crested waves so fair to me,
Starry waves,
Dancing o’er the deep, blue rolling sea,
Brightly come,
Then darkly fade away in melody,
Borne on the billows away.
