My vision was blurred with tears, 
so it might not have been a good dream.
.كانت عيناي مليئتان بالدموع، لذا لا بدّ أنه لم يكن حلما جيدا
Meine Sicht war von Tränen verschwommen,
Las lágrimas no me dejaban ver bien,
así que puede que fuera un mal sueño.
Las lágrimas no me dejaban ver bien,
así que puede que fuera una pesadilla.
Ma vision était brouillée
par les larmes.
Avevo gli occhi offuscati per via delle lacrime,
per cui non so se è stato un bel sogno.
Minha visão estava turva com lágrimas,
então pode não ter sido um bom sonho.
В глазах стояли слёзы, и я ничего не видел…
Сон, наверное, плохой.
