Enlighten me, enlighten me,
Fortune little star,
Enlighten me, enlighten me
Before the moon rises.
Holy Mary I praise,
have praised, and will ever praise.
I commenced to count stars
And left them in the shade;
However, I could not count so
Until a heavenly body would shine.
Holy Mary I praise,
have praised, and will ever praise.
It is high time to us leave here,
It is high time to us leave here,
For the group of stars will fade away,
And I do not want to sleep alone.
Holy Mary I praise,
have praised, and will ever praise.
