Robert Desnos (1900 - 1945)
J'ai rêvé tellement fort de toi
Language: French (Français)
Our translations: ENG GER
J'ai rêvé tellement fort de toi,
J'ai tellement marché, tellement parlé,
Tellement aimé ton ombre,
Qu'il ne me reste plus rien de toi.
Il me reste d'être l'ombre parmi les ombres
D'être cent fois plus ombre que l'ombre
D'être l'ombre qui viendra et reviendra
dans ta vie ensoleillée.

Ich habe so intensiv geträumt von dir
Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
Ich habe so intensiv geträumt von dir,
Ich bin so weit gegangen, habe so viel gesprochen,
So sehr geliebt deinen Schatten,
Dass mir nichts mehr bleibt von dir,
Mir bleibt ein Schatten unter Schatten zu sein
Zu sein hundertfacher Schatten der Schatten
Der Schatten, der wieder und wiederkehren wird
in deinem sonnigen Leben.
