Ob ich lach oder ernst bin,
ob ich schaff' oder raste,
Kaum weiss ich davon.

Hat die Augen geschlossen
und träumt von dir.

Love song

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Whether I laugh or [whether] I am serious,
Whether I create or rest,
I hardly know which.
My soul deep inside me -- it is laughing quietly.
Has closed its eyes
and dreams of you.
