English text

Star of the evening, glad we hail thee,
As thou shinest from afar;
Whene’er the shades of night are deep’ning,
Beautiful, beautiful evening star.

Beautiful star, Beautiful star,
Star of the evening, beautiful star,
Beautiful star, Beautiful star,
Star of the evening, beautiful star.

O beacon light of wanderers weary,
When alone and sad they roam,
Guide thou the way-worn travelers footsteps
Safe to the waiting ones dear at home.

Star of the evening, as thou beamest
Softly on as from afar,
Thou e’er dost seem to smile upon us,
Beautiful, beautiful evening star.
