Text von Twinkle, twinkle, little star

1. Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
   How I wonder what you are,
   Up above the world so high,
   Like a diamond in the sky!
   Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
   How I wonder what you are.
2. When the blazing sun is gone,
   When he nothing shines upon,
   Then you show your little light,
   Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
   Twinkle, twinkle little star,
   How I wonder what you are.
3. Then the trav’ler in the dark
   Thanks you for your tiny spark,
   He couldn’t see which way to go,
   If you did not twinkle so.
   Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
   How I wonder what you are.
4. In the dark blue sky you keep,
   While you through my windows peep,
   And you never shut your eye,
   Till the sun is in the sky.
   Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
   How I wonder what you are.

Auf deutsch heißt das Lied Funkel, funkel kleiner Stern.
