Før drømte jeg fast hver eneste Nat
Language: Danish (Dansk)
Available translation(s): FRE
Før drømte jeg fast hver eneste Nat,
Jeg havde dit Hjerte vundet.
Ak, hvor var Dagen da mørk og mat,
Naar Muldet igen var svundet.
Nu plager en Drøm mig saa tung og svær,
Den at jeg dit Hjerte har mistet;
O hvor er Dagen da lys og klar,
Naar Mørket sig bort har listet.

À Asali
Language: French (Français)  after the Danish (Dansk)
Avant, je rêvais presque chaque nuit,
J'avais conquis ton cœur.
Hélas comme le jour fut sombre et terne
Quand encore une fois la terre eut disparu.
Maintenant un rêve me tourmente, si cruel et si lourd,
Celui d'avoir perdu ton cœur ;
Ô, comme le jour est alors clair et lumineux
Quand l'obscurité doucement disparaît.
