Ich träume so leise von Dir
Language: German (Deutsch)
Immer kommen am Morgen schmerzliche Farben,
Die sind wie deine Seele.
O, ich muß an dich denken,
Und überall blühen so traurige Augen.
Und ich habe dir doch von großen Sternen erzählt,
Aber du hast zur Erde gesehn.
Nächte wachsen aus meinem Kopf,
Ich weiß nicht wo ich hin soll.
Ich träume so leise von dir,
Weiß hängt die Seide schon über meinen Augen.
Warum hast du nicht um mich
Die Erde gelassen -- sage?

I dream so quietly of you
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Always in morning come the pain-filled colors,
that are like your soul.
O, I must think of you,
And over all bloom such sad eyes.
And I have told you of the great stars,
but you saw only the earth.
Nights awaken in my thoughts,
I know not where I shall be.
I dream so quietly of you,
White hangs the silk already over my eyes.
Why did you not put aside the earth
for me -- say?
