Traumtänzer [English translation]

I dreamt I was sitting in the sunshine

and cleansed my thoughts with nothingness

I dreamt each weighed as light as a feather

and whirled away towards the sky

I dreamt that one, fat and heavy,

asked me quietly what it's like

when I go through sleep's gate

and seek the fresh start over there

I dreamt I was sitting by a stream

and conjured up the basic ideas

I polish each one bright and clean

Like stars, they shine in gratitude

I dreamt that one such idea

asked me if there, where I go,

joy came in the darkness

to escort the flashes of genius

I capture them in that dream

I slip out of this dream

I slide over, barely noticing

I am a dream dancer

I dance my life, live the dream

I dream of happiness, I don't look back

Dream dancer

I lead you into the dream,

and it shall be your companion

I lingered here and there doing this

Carried a lot away from the dreams

And without a response, though with happiness,

I gently brought them all back

They left behind a trace,

the faint air of the dreamworld alone,

that greets me everywhere twinkling

and laughs when the muse kisses me
