Schwerer Traum
 (Sung text for setting by H. von Herzogenberg)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Ich hab die Nacht geträumet
Wohl einen schweren Traum;
Es wuchs in meinem Garten
Ein Rosmarinenbaum.

 ... 

Die Blüten tät ich sammeln
In einen gold'nen Krug;
Der fiel mir aus den Händen,
Daß er in Stücken schlug.

D'raus sah ich Perlen rinnen
Und Tröpflein rosenrot.
Was mag der Traum bedeuten?
Ach Liebster, bist du tot?

Add this translation to the Basket | Add tr by H. von Herzogenberg
Cette nuit j'ai rêvé,
Un bien triste rêve ;
Dans mon jardin
Poussait un romarin.

 ... 

J'ai ramassé les fleurs
Dans une cruche d'or ;
Elle m'est tombée des mains
Et s'est brisée en morceaux.

Je vis en sortir des perles
Et des petites gouttes roses.
Que peut signifier mon rêve ?
Ah bien-aimé, es-tu mort ?
