Ich stand gelehnet an den Mast, Und zählte jede Welle. Ade! mein schönes Vaterland! Mein Schiff, das segelt schnelle! Ich kam schön Liebchens Haus vorbei, Die Fensterscheiben blinken; Ich guck' mir fast die Augen aus, Doch will mir niemand winken. Ihr Tränen, bleibt mir aus dem Aug', Daß ich nicht dunkel sehe. Mein krankes Herze brich mir nicht Vor allzugroßem Wehe.

Ik stond, al leunend, aan de mast En telde alle golven. Vaarwel, mijn mooie vaderland! Mijn schip rent snel als wolven! Ik kwam mijn liefjes huis voorbij, Het vensterglas, dat blonk er; Ik keek mij haast de ogen uit, Maar alles bleef er donker. Weg tranen, blijf mij uit het oog, Maak er geen doffe bende! Mijn kranke hart, ach, breek toch niet Van al teveel ellende!
