That night we kissed each other, o maiden
Schumann, Robert
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.
