Morgens steh' ich auf und frage:
Kommt feins Liebchen heut?
Abends sink' ich hin und klage:
Aus blieb sie auch heut.
 
In der Nacht mit meinem Kummer
lieg' ich schlaflos, lieg ich wach;
träumend, wie im halben Schlummer,
träumend wandle ich bei Tag.

Le matin je me lève et me demande

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Schumann)

See original

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

Le matin je me lève et me demande :
Ma bonne amie viendra‑t‑elle aujourd'hui ?
Le soir je me couche et je me plains :
Aujourd'hui encore, elle est restée dehors.

Durant la nuit, avec mon chagrin
Je suis couché, sans sommeil, sans dormir ;
En rêvant, comme en un demi‑sommeil,
En rêvant, je déambule tout le jour.
