They shine for me even in distant places
What they say, I love to interpret
As love's tender watchword
The sky is like a diamond
A thousand stars stand in a wide circle
Kindly sent to me by my sweetheart
Far away I dream of the homeland
If I stand alone in the twilight night
I've thought of you full of yearning
My good wishes hurry
They just want to linger with you
Wait for me in the distance!
They shine for me even in distant places
What they say, I love to interpret
As love's tender watchword
The sky is like a diamond
A thousand stars stand in a wide circle
Kindly sent to me by my sweetheart
