Einziger Trost
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Am Tage denk' ich still an Dich,
Und träume Nachts von Dir,
Und keine Seele raubt den Traum
Und die Gedanken mir.
Sie liegen ja so innig fest
Verwahrt in meiner Brust,
Die keinen Hauch verlieren will
All ihrer Qual und Lust.
Und bist Du noch so ewig weit
Und noch so fern von mir:
In meinem Traum bei Tag und Nacht
Bin ich ja doch bei Dir!

Sole consolation
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
During the day I think quietly of you,
And at night I dream of you,
And no one robs me of the dream
And of the thoughts.
For they lie so fervently and firmly
Enshrined in my breast
That does not want to lose a breath
Of all their agony and joy!
And even though you are so eternally distant
And though so far from me:
In my dreams by day and by night
I am nevertheless with you!
