Songteksten
Last night the pale moon was shining.
Last when all was still,
I was wandering alone in sadness
Out among the woodland hills.
I heard the birds a’singing
Out among the trees and view.
And all the birds, my darling,
Were singing, were singing of you.
Were singing, were singing of you (my love).
Were singing, were singing of you.
And all the birds, my darling,
Were singing, were singing of you.
I think of you in the daytime.
I dream of you by night.
I wake and I wish you were here, love.
And tears are clouding my sight.
Those flowers that slumber so sweetly.
The stars above the blue.
Oh, heaven itself, my darling.
Is thinking of you.
Is thinking, is thinking of you (my love).
Thinking, is thinking of you.
Heaven itself, my darling,
Is thinking, is thinking of you.
I opened my window so gently,
Looked out on the dreamy view.
The whole wide world, my darling,
Was sighing, was sighing for you.
Was sighing, was sighing for you (my love)
Sighing, was sighing for you.
The whole wide world, my darling,
Was sighing, was sighing for you.
Songtekstvertaling
Gisteravond scheen de bleke maan.
De laatste keer dat alles nog was,
Ik dwaalde alleen in verdriet
Tussen de bossen heuvels.
Ik hoorde de vogels zingen.
Tussen de bomen en uitzicht.
En alle vogels, mijn liefste,
We zongen, we zongen over je.
We zongen, we zongen over je (mijn liefde).
We zongen, we zongen over je.
En alle vogels, mijn liefste,
We zongen, we zongen over je.
Ik denk overdag aan je.
Ik droom ' s nachts van je.
Ik zou willen dat je hier was.
En tranen vertroebelen mijn zicht.
Die bloemen die zo lief slapen.
De sterren boven het blauw.
Oh, de hemel zelf, mijn liefste.
Ik denk aan jou.
Is denken, is denken aan jou (mijn liefde).
Denken, denken aan jou.
De hemel zelf, mijn liefste,
Ik denk aan jou.
Ik opende mijn raam zo zachtjes,
Keek uit op het dromerige uitzicht.
De hele wereld, mijn liefste,
Hij zuchtte, zuchtte voor je.
Was zuchtend, zuchtend voor jou (mijn liefde)
Zuchtend, zuchtte voor je.
De hele wereld, mijn liefste,
Hij zuchtte, zuchtte voor je.
