Slowly the day has faded, The sun has set beyond the forest, The last light of day has gone dim, Night advances across the earth.
Night’s shadow, Like a black mantle, Has covered the steppe… O warm southern night! Wafting dreams of love, Stirring up delight in my blood, It calls me to an encounter. Are you waiting for me, my dear? Are you? I feel in my heart that you are.

Where are you, where? Respond to my call of love! Oh, that I may see you soon! Come! Quickly, quickly respond to my call of love!
Remember: I am in agony, My chest burns. I am waiting… Passionately waiting for you. For your love!… I love you more than life itself! Why do you dally, my friend? Arise, come to me. Don’t be afraid, everyone has long gone to bed. Everything around sleeps soundly, Everything sleeps peacefully, quietly.
Where are you, where? Respond to my call of love! Ah! Must I wait, must I, For the tenderness of your caress? Come, quickly respond to my call of love! Come beneath the vault of the dark night, When the woods and the waters sleep, When the stars alone, the eyes of heaven, Are all that can see us. Everything sleeps peacefully, quietly. Everything sleeps soundly. Come!
