Text Translation	Sung in German Everything announces you! When the majestic sun appears, I hope you will soon follow. When you emerge in the garden, You are the rose of roses, The lily of lilies at once. When you rise to dance, All the stars rise With you and around you. Night! And so it is then night! Now you outshine the moon’s Lovely, inviting gleam. You are enticing and lovely, And the flowers, moon and stars Worship only you, my sun. My sun! be also to me The creator of majestic days For you give life and eternity. —Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
