Letra:

When from out de shades ob night
Come de stars a shinin´ bright,
I spy de one I do love I recognize ma true love
Amid de tiny orbs ob light.
Search de sky from East to West,
She´s de brightest an´ de best,
But she´s so far above me
I knows she cannot love me
Still I loves her an´ more dan all de rest.

Refrain

Ma evenin´ star I wonder who you are,
Set up so high like a diamond in de sky.
No matter what I do...
I can´t go up to you,
So come down from dar, ma evenin´star.
Come down!, Come dawn!
Come dawn from dar, ma evenin´ star.
