O daß du mich verlassen
Language: German (Deutsch)
O daß du mich verlassen,
Du liebe, treue Hand!
Den Wanderstab zu fassen,
Bin ich nicht mehr imstand.
Nur durch die Zimmer geh' ich
Mit Füßen müd und schwer,
Die alten Wände seh' ich,
Doch keine Heimat mehr.
Geh' durch des Gartens Räume
Im Sonn- und Mondenlicht,
Seh' wohl die alten Bäume,
Die alte Heimat nicht.
Die sank, seit du verschieden,
Ins tiefe, tiefe Meer,
Hab' keinen, keinen Frieden,
Hab' keine Heimat mehr!

No longer any home
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Oh that you left me,
You dear, faithful hand!
I am no longer able
To grasp the walking staff.
I only walk through the rooms
With feet that are weary and heavy,
I see the old walls,
But no home any longer.
I walk through the expanse of the garden
In sunlight and in moonlight,
I see the old trees,
But not the old home.
It sank, since you passed away,
Into the deep, deep ocean.
I have no peace, none,
I no longer have any home!
