[verse]
*When evening comes, the sun sets,*
*In the sky, the stars appear,*
*The moon too rises,*
*Ah, how they make my heart long.*
[chorus]
*Oh, owner of my heart,*
*I spend my days and nights longing for you,*
*Without you, I, this man,*
*Find no joy at all.*
[verse]
*If the day comes when we meet face to face,*
*My heart will be glad,*
*I will long for no one else,*
*This I always ask of God.*
[chorus]
[Bridge]
*Though time and days turn,*
*And though our bodies may wither,*
*Let our love remain ever new,*
*Even when our bodies are laid in the graveyard,*
*I want to be close to you.
[chorus]
