Wo ist mein Traum geblieben, Mein rosenroter - von Frauen In Gärten und ihrem Lieben In Nächten, warmen, blauen? Wo ist mein Traum geblieben, Mein Traum von Rossedampf Und Siegen, Wunden und Hieben Und blutrot hellem Kampf? Im Glase dunkelt Burgunder Und treibet leichten Schaum -- O warum gingst du unter, Jugend, du schöner Traum?

What happened to my dream, My rose-red dream - of women In gardens and of their loving In nights, warm, blue [nights]? What happened to my dream, My dream of steaming horses And victories, wounds and blows And blood-red bright battles? In my glass burgundy glows darkly And bubbles forth a light foam -- Oh why did you sink away, Youth, you beautiful dream?
