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.

    Set to music by Carl Loewe (1796 - 1869), "Ich hab' im Traum geweinet", op. 9, Heft 7 no. 6 (1832)

 Ik droomde dat je dood was
 Ik huilde doodsbang in mijn slaap.
 Ik lag voor aap, het bleef stromen
 Zelfs toen ik allang was ontwaakt.

 Ik droomde dat je weg was
 Mijn hoofdkussen bleek doorweekt
 Tranen om jou bleven komen
 Zo erg was ik van streek.

 Ik droomde dat je terug was
 We zongen een liefdesduet
 Wie redt nu ik weer rechtop zit
 Mij uit dit waterbed?
