Strophe 1
Yesterday you left this place.
This early morning our blue lake seems changed to me.
The air is cool, and the fog is slowly lifting now.

Strophe 2
Yesterday all friends were here,
and laughing, shouting, playing, we had so much fun.
Now they are gone. You too, my love, left me alone.

Refrain
The misty sunrise - it is reflected pale
on the glittering, silvery, water.
The reed on the shore and the boatpath -
they contrast as a dark-grey silhouette
with the bright horizon.
Oh it's beautiful to see, but I miss you so,
for I'm alone, and I can't yet even go back home.
Maybe you will keep your promise
and I'll see you once again, see you again.
How I do wish to see your face.
Now I realize that I love you - oh I love you.
