Vorbei, vorbei
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Ich habe geträumt bis Morgens fruh Den schönsten Traum; mein Traum warst du. Ich durfte im Traum dein Stirnlein küssen; Am Morgen habe ich weinen müssen. Ich habe geklopft des Morgens fruh An deine Thüre; sie blieb nicht zu. Du bist nicht besser als alle andern. Vorbei, vorbei! Muss wieder wandern.
Note for the first line of both stanzas: Baumbach omitted the Umlaut on "früh" for the sake of the rhyme.
Confirmed with Rudolf Baumbach, Spielmannslieder, Leipzig: Verlag von A. G. Liebeskind, 1883, page 45.
