One night I had a dream that a slim looking prince
Rode a white horse at dawn, from the mountains to me
He set my heart ablaze with his eyes as he went
He set my heart ablaze with his eyes as he went
Ah let my heart be bare, let these tears from my eyes become a sea,
Let he who came into my dream
Be deprived of a love
When destiny again opens its door to me
Maybe you were that prince who stepped into my dreams
Could it be that he who was in my dreams that night
Was really you, yes you!
But as I suddenly was shaken from my dreams
He was gone, he was not by my side anymore,
I swear
Sorrow has, ever since, brought my heart to my lips
And I wait every night and I wait every day
I swear
Ah let my heart be bare, let these tears from my eyes become a sea,
Let he who came into my dream
Be deprived of a love
When destiny again opens its door to me

یه شب تو خواب وقت سحر ، شهزاده ای زرین کمر
نشسته بر اسب سفید ، میومد از کوه و کمر
میرفت و آتش به دلم ، میزد نگاهش
میرفت و آتش به دلم ، میزد نگاهش
کاشکی دلم رسوا بشه ، دریا بشه این دو چشم پر آبم
روزی که بختم باز بشه ، بی یار بشه اون که اومد به خوابم
شهزاده رویای من شاید تویی ، اون کس که شب در خوابه من آید تویی تو
از خواب شیرین ناگه پریدم ، او را ندیدم دیگر کنارم به خدا
جانم رسیده از غصه بر لب ، هر روز و هر شب در انتظارم به خدا
کاشکی دلم رسوا بشه ، دریا بشه این دو چشم پر آبم
روزی که بختم باز بشه ، بی یار بشه اون که اومد به خوابم
می رفت و آتش به دلم ,می زد نگاهش
میرفت و آتش به دلم ، میزد نگاهش
