Ich hab' im Traum geweinet,
Mir träumte, du lägest im Grab.
Ich wachte auf, und die Träne 
Floß noch von der Wange herab.

Ich hab' im Traum geweinet,
Mir träumt', du verließest mich.
Ich wachte auf, und ich weinte
Noch lange bitterlich.

Ich hab' im Traum geweinet,
Mir träumte, du wär'st mir noch gut.
Ich wachte auf, und noch immer
Strömt meine Tränenflut.

Al dromend moest ik huilen

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Al dromend moest ik huilen.
Ik droomde: jij lag in het graf.
Ik kwam weer bij, en de tranen
Liepen van mijn wangen nog af.
 
Al dromend moest ik huilen.
Mijn droom: jij ging weg van mij.
Ik kwam weer bij, en ik schreide;
Een bitter, lang geschrei.
 
Al dromend moest ik huilen.
Ik droomde: tussen ons was 't nog goed.
Ik kwam weer bij, en aanhoudend
Stroomt nog mijn tranenvloed.
