Wenn ich scheiden muß
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Wenn ich scheiden muß,
Wenn ich scheiden muß,
Jeden Abend scheiden muß, mein Lieb,
Ist mir immer so,
Als ob das, was froh
Mir im Herzen war, bei dir verblieb!

All' mein Traurigkeit,
All' mein Herzeleid
Nehm ich mit in meine Einsamkeit,
Schmerz und Harm ist mir,
Alles Glück bei dir,
Und der Weg von dir zu mir so weit.

Aber wenn ich dann
Wieder wandern kann,
Jenen lieben Weg zu deinem Haus,
Lacht die ganze Welt,
Lacht mir Flur und Feld,
Und das Glück fliegt meinem Pfad voraus.
