Wiederseh'n
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wir trugen unverdrossen,
was uns die Trennung Liebes nahm;
die Zeit ist nun verflossen,
der Trennung Zeit, der ferne Gram.
O deine Hand, und deine
hält nun ewig meine!
Und wir gedenken heiter
vergang'ner gut' und böser Zeit
und denken freudig weiter,
und keine Zukunft tut uns leid.
Gar schön ist's uns gegeben,
gar wundersüßes Leben.

Reunion
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
We dauntlessly endured,
What the separation took from us;
Now, time has paased,
The time of parting, the distant heartache.
O your hand,
I would hold yours forever in mine!
And we remember gladly
Past times, good and bad,
And continue to think happily,
And no future can sadden us.
So beautifully it has been given to us,
This life so wonderfully sweet.
