Wo ist mein Traum geblieben
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Wo ist mein Traum geblieben,
Mein rosenroter - von Frauen
In Gärten und ihrem Lieben
In Nächten, warmen, blauen?
Wo ist mein Traum geblieben,
Mein Traum von Rossedampf
Und Siegen, Wunden und Hieben
Und blutrot hellem Kampf?
Im Glase dunkelt Burgunder
Und treibet leichten Schaum --
O warum gingst du unter,
Jugend, du schöner Traum?

What happened to my dream
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
What happened to my dream,
My rose-red dream - of women
In gardens and of their loving
In nights, warm, blue [nights]?
What happened to my dream,
My dream of steaming horses
And victories, wounds and blows
And blood-red bright battles?
In my glass burgundy glows darkly
And bubbles forth a light foam --
Oh why did you sink away,
Youth, you beautiful dream?
