Kleine Taschenlampe brenn' [English translation]

I'm sitting here upon my star and let my feet dangle in space.

Oh, I wait for the night

Because then you can see me well

I miss you so much

Am alone

Please, come today!

Yes, we love each other only from afar

The little girl and the prince from the star!

Uncle Moon, cousin Mars and a thousand satellite stars

They help us,

What nobody knows

What else do you have relatives for?

They keep the sky clear at nights

Then you can broadcast

A telephone

We don't have, unfortunately

But you write with the light of your flashlight

Shine, little flashlight

Write "I love you" into the sky.

Oh, then I know for sure

No power will be able to separate us!

I switch myself on

I switch myself off

I glow in a hundred fancy colors

A few little stars I pluck for you and make bouquets out of comets.

We do love lonesome but true

Nobody will separate us.

In the universe they are whispering to one another

The little prince has a date at night

Shine, little flashlight

Write "I love you" into the sky...

Shine, little flashlight

Write "I love you" into the sky...

Shine, little flashlight

Write "I love you" into the sky...
