Sie ist nur durch mein Zimmer gegangen
und hat mir scheu von Träumen erzählt,
und ich hab' sie mit Trost gequält
und saß und starb fast vor Verlangen.

Sie hat geträumt von meinen Händen:
sie aß von ihres Mannes Brot,
da kam ich an und drückte sie tot,
sie hielt ganz still. Wie wird das enden --

Elle est juste passée par ma chambre

(Sung text translation for setting by A. Zemlinsky)

See original

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

Elle est juste passée par ma chambre
et m'a parlé timidement de rêves,
et je l'ai tourmentée avec espoir
et j'étais assis et mourais presque de désir.

Elle a rêvé de mes mains :
elle mangeait du pain de son homme,
alors je m'approchai et l'étouffai,
elle se tint bien tranquille. Comment cela finira-t-il ?
