Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are,
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky,
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.
When this blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle through the night,
How I wonder what you are.

Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle through the night,

Then the traveller in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see where go,
If you did not twinkle so,
How I wonder what you are.
Then the traveller in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see where go,
If you did not twinkle so,
Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are.
In the dark blue sky you keep,
And through my curtains you peep,
For you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky,
How I wonder what you are.
In the dark blue sky you keep,
And through my curtains you peep,
For you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky,

Your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the traveller in the dark,
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle little star,

Twinkle, twinkle,
little star,
How we wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
When the glorious sun has set,
And the grass with dew is wet,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
When the golden sun doth rise,
Fills with shining light the skies,
Then you fade away from sight,
Shine no more 'till comes the night.
