J'ai pleuré en rêve
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
J'ai pleuré en rêve ;
[je rêvais]1 que tu étais morte;
je m'éveillai, et les larmes
coulèrent de mes joues.

J'ai pleuré en rêve ;
[je rêvais]1 que tu me quittais;
je m'éveillai, et je pleurai
amèrement longtemps après.

J'ai pleuré en rêve;
[je rêvais]1 que tu m'aimais encore;
je m'éveillai, et le torrent 
de mes larmes coule toujours.
