O moon high up in the deep, deep sky,
Your light sees far away regions,
You travel round the wide,

Wide world peering into human dwellings

O, moon, stand still for a moment,

Tell me, ah, tell me where is my lover!
Tell him. please, silvery moon in the sky,
That I am hugging him firmly,

That he should for at least a while
Remember his dreams!
Light up his faraway place,

Tell him, ah, tell him who is here waiting!
If he is dreaming about me,
May this remembrance waken him!

O, moon, don't disappear, disappear!
