Ich hab' im Traum geweinet
I wept whilst I was dreaming

Dichterliebe A Poet's Love

Heine

I wept whilst I was dreaming,
Dreaming you were no more.
I woke and my tears were still streaming,
Streaming, my heart was so sore.

I wept whilst I was dreaming,
Dreaming you'd gone away.
I woke and my tears were still streaming;
How would I get through the day!

I wept whilst I was dreaming,
Dreaming you loved me still.
I woke and my tears were still streaming;
They won't stop. I doubt that they will.
