Translated by Unknown - I Remember a Wonderful Moment lyrics

I remember a wonderful moment As before my eyes you appeared, Like a vision, fleeting, momentary, Like a spirit of the purest beauty. In the torture of hopeless melancholy, In the bustle of the world's noisy hours, That voice rang out so tenderly, I dreamed of that lovely face of yours. The years flew quickly. The storm's blast Scattered the dreams of former times, And I forgot your tender voice, And the features of your heavenly face. In remoteness, in gloomy isolation, My days dragged quietly, nothing was new, No godlike face, no inspiration, No tears, no life, no love, no you. Then to my soul an awakening came, And there again your face appeared, Like a vision, fleeting, momentary, Like a spirit of the purest beauty. And my heart beat with a rapture new, And for its sake arose again A godlike face, an inspiration, And life, and tears, and love, and you.
