These stars, this moon, these youthful nights,
Tell me, what shall I do, where are you, where am I?
These stars, this moon.

Drenched nights, the sky strewn with stars,
Come, or this moment will pass away.
Drenched nights, the sky strewn with stars,
Come, or this moment will pass away.
Without you, both worlds feel desolate,
Tell me, what shall I do, where are you, where am I?
These stars, this moon.

Since when, my eyes yearn for you,
For you.
Since when, my eyes yearn for you,
For you.
Each desire yearns for you,
Oh, for you.
I am here, and the silent loneliness of sorrow,
Tell me, what shall I do, where are you, where am I?
These stars, this moon.

Lest the hem of hope slip away,
Lest the garden of desires be plundered,
Lest the hem of hope slip away,
Lest the garden of desires be plundered,
Lest my tale remain incomplete,
Tell me, what shall I do, where are you, where am I?
These stars, this moon, these youthful nights,
Tell me, what shall I do, where are you, where am I?
