The star shines in the crack of dawn

1. Dawn breaks, stars shine, ; Yet I am the bride, ; Alas, my God, but I am ashamed, ; That the dawn has found me here. ; ; 2. Autumn dew, cold rain, ; In autumn the grapes ripen, ; When they ripen, they are pressed into wine, ; The bride is asked to marry. ; ; 3. Two, two, twelve, ; But the red glove is beautiful, ; The bride gave it as a betrothal, ; The groom accepted it. ; ; 4. One of the young men proposed to her, ; The groom did not let him, ; He even put down the deposit, ; Yet he made her his own. ; ; 5. The groom is a writer, ; He does not need candlelight, ; He writes that letter ; Next to two shining stars. ; ; 6. The groom is a golden lamb, ; There is a golden letter on his shoulder, ; Whoever reads it, ; The bride's name is on it. ; ; 7. The bride's cake ; All the way down the street, ; Where, where is the cake going, ; Into the groom's yard. ; ; 8. The bride's silk skirt ; Stuck on the gatepost, ; It wasn't the gatepost that caught it, ; The groom caught it. ; Dawn breaks, stars shine, (to the melody of line 3) ; Yet I am the bride's bride. (to the melody of line 4)
