The sun is dying and the light with him as well   Sadly embraced they drown far away      The night rises again   The dark mystery   Falls softly on me   With her innocent veil      Crumbs of light stud her black mantle   And playful figures spring up   Invading the sky      That black painting   Depicted with stars   As a living picture   Renewed every night      Let them admire   What their eyes are unable to notice   The immense and boundless infinite   Hidden behind it      As a wonderful dream destined to vanish completely      Into a neverending burning horizon   The sun and light die again   Black and majestic the night comes back      Oh sweet pale-faced moon   Deathly pale queen of the obscure empire   What you hide behind you   Show me the secret for my eyes   Show me the infinite spheres of light   Jealously guarded by you   Let me delight the immense infinite
