What did she tell me last night
What was it? What was it?
Was I dreaming or was I awake
Who knows? Who knows?
At home and out of doors
In all kinds of works I remain engaged
Does what she told
Keep on ringing unawares
Every moment?
Who knows? Who knows?
Does it pain my heart without cause?
Have I won, have I lost?
Does it whisper in my ears
Again and again
'Let us leave, let us leave
And go to a far away place'
Does it echo only in my heart
Or does it echo everywhere?
Who knows? Who knows?
