by Václav Hanka (1791 - 1861)
Translation by Josef Waldemar Jarosch (1837 - 1882), as Alfred Waldau

Geh mit Gott
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Czech (Čeština) 
Geh' mit Gott, vergiss mein nicht!             
Weihe mir dein Angedenken,  
Liebe darfst du mir nicht schenken, 
Denn das Schicksal will es nicht!  

Geh' mit Gott, vergiss mein nicht! 
Meiner Seele ewig theuer, 
Bleibst du mir ein zehrend Feuer, 
Bis der Tod das Herz mir bricht.

Geh' mit Gott, vergiss mein nicht! 
Wenn die Thränen einst versiegen
Und im Sarg die Schmerzen liegen, 
Siegt doch deine Zuversicht! 
Geh' mit Gott, vergiss mein nicht! 

Confirmed with Alfred Waldau, Venceslav Hanka's Lieder, Prag: H. Dominicus, 1863, page 107.
