That night we kissed each other, o maiden

That night we kissed each other, o maiden,

no one was observing us.

The stars, which stood in the sky -

we confided only in those stars.

It was one star that fell,

and accused us to the sea;

then the sea told it to a rudder,

and the rudder told it to a sailor.

That same sailor sang it

to his sweetheart.

Now, on the streets and in the market,

the boys and girls sing of it in chorus.
