Legt mir unters Haupt Melissen,
Meine Träume sind so wild.
Ihrer Grabesnacht entrissen
Schwebt vielleicht ihr süßes Bild
Über mein verödet Kissen.
Legt mir unters Haupt Melissen,
Meine Träume sind so wild.

Nuits sans sommeil
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Mettez de la mélisse sur ma tête,
Mes rêves sont si sauvages.
Arrachée de la nuit de sa tombe
Son doux portrait flotte
Au-dessus de mon oreiller déserté.
Mettez de la mélisse sur ma tête,
Mes rêves sont si sauvages.
