Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Was frag' ich nach den Sternen Da droben weit von mir? Nicht in entlegnen Fernen, Mein Stern erglänzet hier! Du bist's, in meiner Nähe Der feste Stern bist du, Um den ich stets mich drehe, Dem ich gehöre zu. Doch also wie sich nimmer Verbindet Stern mit Stern Bin ich ach! deinem Schimmer So nah und doch so fern.
