No one sleeps! No one sleeps!
You too, O Princess!
in your chaste room

are watching the stars which
tremble with love and hope!
But my secret lies hidden within me,

no one shall discover my name!
Oh no, I will reveal it only on your lips,
when daylight shines forth

and my kiss shall break
the silence which makes you mine


(no one shall discover my name!
And we will have to die!)


Depart, oh night!
Fade away, you stars!
At dawn I shall win!
