Abreise
Language: German (Deutsch)
Es kommt ein Schiff gezogen,
Rot glühen die Segel im Abendschein,
Der Wind kommt kosend geflogen,
Und leise plätschern die Wogen,
Und Hörnerton schallt darein.
Trarah, trarah, trarah, trarah!
Und an des Schiffleins Rande
Steht hoch der Knab' und er schwingt das Pokal;
Ihr Vöglein, ihr flieget zum Strande,
O grüßt im heimischen Lande
Die Lieben viel tausend mal.
Trarah, trarah, trarah, trarah!

Departure
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
A ship is approaching,
The sails shine brightly in the sun set,
The wind blows hard,
The waves dabble,
The horns sound.
Trarah, trarah, trarah, trarah!
The boy stands
At the railing with the loving cup in his hands,
Sea gulls, fly to the beach,
O greet the loved ones at home
A thousand times.
Trarah, trarah, trarah, trarah!
