None must sleep! None must sleep!
And you, too, Princess,
In your cold room,
Gaze at the stars
Which tremble with love
And hope!

But my mystery is locked within me,
No-one shall know my name!
No, no, I shall say it as my mouth
Meets yours when the dawn is breaking!

And my kiss will break the silence
Which makes you mine!

(No-one shall know his name,
And we, alas, shall die!)

Vanish, o night!
Fade, stars!
At dawn I shall win!
