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.

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

J'ai pleuré dans un rêve,
Je rêvais que tu gisais dans la tombe.
Je m'éveillai, et mes larmes
Coulaient encore sur mes joues.

J'ai pleuré dans un rêve,
J'ai rêvé que tu me quittais.
Je m'éveillai, et pleurai
Amèrement encore longtemps.

J'ai pleuré dans un rêve,
J'ai rêvé que tu m'aimais.
Je m'éveillai, et toujours depuis
Mes larmes coulent à flots.
