The verse goes on to describe the beauty of the night and the feelings of love that Anna experienced. The chorus of the song begins with the lyrics "Hello young lovers, whoever you are, I hope your troubles are few, all my good wishes go with you tonight." The second verse of the song begins with the lyrics "I've been in love like you, be brave, young lovers, and follow your star." The verse goes on to encourage young lovers to follow their hearts and pursue their dreams. The chorus is repeated at the end of the song, with slight variations in the lyrics.
