J’ai pleuré en rêve;
je rêvais que tu étais morte;
je m’éveillai, et les larmes
coulèrent de mes joues.

J’ai pleuré en rêve;
je revais que tu me quittais;
je m’éveillai, et je pleural
along temps après.

J’ai pleurè en rêve;
je revais que tu m’aimais encore;
je m’èveillai, et le torrent
de mes larmes could toujours.

I wept as I dreamed;
I dreamed that you were dead;
I awakened and the tears
flowed on my cheek.

I wept as I dreamed;
I dreamed that you left me;
I awakened and cried bitterly
for a long time afterwards.

I wept as I dreamed;
I dreamed that you were here again;
I awakened and the torrent
of my tears flowed forever.
