Wiedersehn! Wiedersehn! Endlich tönt dir mein Willkommen! Meine höchsten Huldigungen Sollen dir entgegen wehn. Endlich hab' ich dich errungen! Hell wie Frühlings Auferstehn, Leuchtest du o Wiedersehn. Wiedersehn! Wiedersehn! Neues rosenvolles Leben, Noch verhüllet dich ein Schleier; Aber er wird niederwehn; Und du wirst zur Krönungsfeier Hell aus deiner Wolke gehn. Laura werd' ich wiedersehn. Wiedersehn! Wiedersehn! Ja, ich werd' in deinem Lichte Heller sehn aus dunklen Nächten, Hoch in deinem Lichte stehn. Welche Kronen soll ich flechten? Wie soll ich dein Fest begehn Wonnen voller Wiedersehn? Wiedersehn! Wiedersehn! Dir gebühret Harfenfeier! Lindenblüten, taumelt nieder In das festliche Getön! Töne meiner Herzenslieder Sollen dich im Duft umwehn, Hochwillkommnes Wiedersehn. Wiedersehn! Wiedersehn, Ist der Liebe schönste Feier. Gebt mir Kronen, Rosenkronen! Meine Königin soll schön Wie die Lieb' in Rosen thronen! Opferduft soll dich umwehn, Feierliches Wiedersehn.

Reunion! Reunion! Finally my welcome sounds out to you! My highest homage Shall waft towards you. Finally I have won you! As brightly as the rise of spring Do you, oh reunion, shine forth. Reunion! Reunion! New rose-filled life, A veil still cloaks you, But it shall waft away, And for the festivities of coronation You shall emerge brightly from your cloud. I shall see Laura again. Reunion! Reunion! Yes, more brightly in your light Shall I gaze from out of dark nights, I shall stand high in your light. What sort of crowns should I weave? How should I celebrate your festivities, Joys filled with reunion? Reunion! Reunion! You warrant the festive sounding of harps! Linden blossoms, tumble down Into the festive resounding! The tones of the songs of my heart Shall waft about you with scents, Most welcome reunion. Reunion! Reunion, Is the most beautiful of love's celebrations. Give me crowns, crowns of roses! My queen shall be enthroned in roses, As beautiful as love! Sacrificial scents shall waft about you, Ceremonious reunion.
