Chumm doch chly nöcher, lueg dert di Stärne
Lueg, wi si funkle so häll u so klar - u so nöch!
Chumm, leg dy Chopf doch chly a my Schultere
Millione vo Liechter luege vor Milchstrass da obe üs zue.
Gsehsch dert der Castor? U sy Zwilling, der Pollux?
Si stöh so nöch, so nöch bynand wi du un ig.
U sy doch Liechtjahr, Liechtjahr, Liechtjahr vonand.
I gseh der Wäg no, wo mir sy härcho
Vo dunde ym Tal, vo de Liechter u em Ruusche vor Outobahn.
Lueg, üsy Spure dert über d'Matte
Dert sy mir glüffe mitnand, mal näbe-, mal hinderenand.
Es gseht fasch so us, als wär's nur ei Spur
Als wäre mir eis gsy uf däm Wäg bis dahi.
Doch mir sy Liechtjahr, Liechtjahr, Liechtjahr vonand.
U mir läbe beidi y üsne Wälte
U wüsse so weni, so weni vonand.
Chumm, leg dy Chopf no chly a my Schultere
I gsehn e Stärnschnuppe verglüeje am Horizont
Un es isch Liechtjahr, Liechtjahr, Liechtjahr ewäg.
