哦月光深沉温柔
 
哦月光深沉温柔，
  就在一年多前，
金色光辉的迷雾
  将我订婚照圆！
 
哦榆叶黑又露多，
  像看起来一般，
微风将你们吹过，
  在我梦里自言！
 
哦河流，遥远黯淡，
  如此永流莫驻，
我存在的一方面
  在你内心深处！
 
星啊，见我们相逢，
  两人一个灵魂，
两颗心疯狂跳动
  融为一体不分！
 
哦快乐夜晚，传递
  她给我的回吻，
或者全留，给她一
  幸福梦想如锦！
 
O moonlight deep and tender
 
O moonlight deep and tender,
 A year and more agone,
Your mist of golden splendor
 Round my betrothal shone!
 
O elm-leaves dark and dewy,
 The very same ye seem,
The low wind trembles through ye,
 Ye murmur in my dream!
 
O river, dim with distance,
 Flow thus forever by,
A part of my existence
 Within your heart doth lie!
 
O stars, ye saw our meeting,
 Two beings and one soul,
Two hearts so madly beating
 To mingle and be whole!
 
O happy night, deliver
 Her kisses back to me,
Or keep them all, and give her
 A blisslul dream of me!
