Chorus:

Stars without glitter, sun without gold,
Nightfall is bitter, endless and cold;
Silent the city, silent the sea,
There is no music for me.
Gone the charms of his arms,
Gone the spell that dispelled all alarms;
Gone the bright twinkling light
That beguiled as he smiled and enfolded me tight.
Gone is the singer, lost is the song
That I longed for all my life long;
Once there was music, joyous and free,
Now salty tears glisten,
All night I listen,
But there's no music for me.
