O moon, tell me, O moon, tell me,
Is this then love's true name, is this then love's true name?
Which stranger, which wanderer,
Has plucked the strings of my heart?
O moon, tell me,
O moon, tell me, is this then love's true name?

A sweet ache arose in my heart,
A sweet ache arose in my heart, when eyes met eyes,
A sweet ache arose in my heart, when eyes met eyes,
Hope whispers, "Come, mad girl,
Hope whispers, "Come, mad girl, leave far behind this shore."
Is this then love's true name? O moon, tell me,
O moon, tell me, is this then love's true name?

The princess saw the moon,
The princess saw the moon,
The princess saw the moon, the moon saw the moon,
She saw the moon, my own moon,
She saw the moon, my own moon, and the moon was slain.
He went, poor thing, to ruin, he went, poor thing, to ruin.
O moon, tell me,
O moon, tell me, is this then love's true name?

The heart was empty, eyes were silent,
The heart was empty, eyes were silent, living was in vain,
The heart was empty, eyes were silent, living was in vain,
Giving new life you,
Giving new life you, changed the world,
Giving new life you, changed the world.
Is this then love's true name? O moon, tell us,
O moon, tell us, is this then love's true name?
