Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Lebe wohl! du lieber Freund!
Ziehe hin in fernes Land,
Nimm der Freundschaft trautes Band -
Und bewahr's in treuer Hand!
Lebe wohl! du lieber Freund!
Lebe wohl, du lieber Freund!
Hör' in diesem Trauersang
Meines Herzens innern Drang,
Tönt er doch so dumpf und bang.
Lebe wohl, du lieber Freund!
Lebe wohl, du lieber Freund!
Scheiden heißt das bitt're Wort,
Weh, es ruft dich von uns fort
Hin an den Bestimmungsort.
Lebe wohl, du lieber Freund!
Lebe wohl, du lieber Freund!
Wenn dieß Lied dein Herz ergreift,
Freundes Schatten näher schweift,
Meiner Seele Saiten streift.
Lebe wohl, du lieber Freund!

Comiat
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
Adéu, estimat amic!
Marxa vers terres llunyanes,
pren l'entranyable lligam de l'amistat
i guarda'l en la teva mà fidel!
Adéu, estimat amic!
Adéu, estimat amic!
Escolta en aquest cant de tristor
l'íntim afany del meu cor
encara que ressoni tan somort i angoixat.
Adéu, estimat amic!
Adéu, estimat amic!
La partença és una paraula amarga,
ai, et crida lluny de nosaltres
vers el lloc de la teva destinació.
Adéu, estimat amic!
Adéu, estimat amic!
Quan aquesta cançó colpegi el teu cor,
l'ombra de l'amic voltejarà a prop,
fregant les cordes de la meva ànima.
Adéu, estimat amic!
