Lyrics (translation by DSQ)
1) Like stars upon the azure sky,
in pairs, they gently lie.
So you and I shall hand in hand,
now wander on this sacred land,
on our wedding day grand.
2) Do you recall your promise made
by night in blurry shade?
You swore to be a friend so dear,
but now in jest, it so appears,
a truth I hold with tears.
3) Now like the wildest sheep astray,
in fields, I roam each day.
No father, mother, nor a friend,
on this earth to my heart will tend,
or comforting words me lend.
4) Now we will end our little song
to not be long and dull
farewell, farewell my dearest friend
we'll likely meet yet once again
on a sunny day in the end.
