by Friedrich von Matthisson (1761 - 1831)
Translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

Romance
Language: Swedish (Svenska)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Jag minnes dig, 
när näktergalen 
med sorglig röst 
genljuder kvalen 
uti mitt bröst. 
När minns du mig? 

Jag minnes dig, 
vid månans ljus 
i tysta kvällen, 
vid bäckens sus 
från branta hällen. 
Var minns du mig?

Jag minnes dig 
med bitter nöje 
då hjärtat brinner, 
med sorgligt löje 
då tåren rinner. 
Hur minns du mig? 

O minns du mig 
till dess i döden 
ljuvt sammanblandas 
de skilda öden! 
Evar jag andas, 
minns jag blott dig.
