Strophe 1
I think there's only one thing, that went wrong,
I saw your face a minute too long.
We chatted just a few words last night.
I saw your smile in the pale moonlight.
I saw your smile in the pale moonlight.

Strophe 2
I lost you and I missed to ask your name.
I'm longing for you now with a flame
that's burning in my heart since last night.
I saw your smile in the pale moonlight,
I saw your smile in the pale moonlight.

Strophe 3
It seems I can't forget you any more.
You touched my head when we reached the shore.
We had walked a short way side by side.
I saw your smile in the pale moonlight,
I saw your smile in the pale moonlight.

Strophe 4
I should have made a date, but tell you why
I could not ask, I was just too shy.
I let you walk away through the night.
I saw your smile in the pale moonlight,
I saw your smile in the pale moonlight.
