Lovely moon, you shine so brightly
    in the sky,
Like a lamp of silver riding high.
O'er the city streets you cast your
    silv'ry light,
Making plain things beautiful and bright.
 
Ev'ry lover will discover
All the joy the shining moon can bring
    as he sings:
Lovely moon, you shine so brightly
    in the sky,
Like a lamp of silver riding high.
 
Lovely moon, the scholars say you
    help the sun,
Make the tides of oceans ebb and flow.
Surely you can move the hearet of
    my dear one,
As she gazes on your silv'ry glow.
 
Stop and hover right above her,
And reflect love's message I would bring,
    as I sing:
Lovely moon, you shine so brightly
    in the sky,
Like a lamp of silver riding high.
