by Johann Christian August Heinroth (1773 - 1843), as T. Wellentreter

Lebe wohl, schönes Jahr
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Lebe wohl, schönes Jahr,
Das so reich an Freuden war, 
Uns im Blumenschmucke lachte, 
Lust im Herbstgewande brachte, 
Das so lieb, so werth uns war, 
Lebe wohl, schönes Jahr!   

Lebe wohl,  schönes Jahr, 
Das so reich an Freuden war, 
Deine Freuden sind genossen, 
Deine Tage sind verflossen, 
Keiner kehrt uns, der da war, 
Je zurück, schönes Jahr! 

Lebe wohl,  schönes Jahr, 
Das so reich an Freuden war,
Schnell, wie deine Stunden flogen, 
Werden wir auch fortgezogen, 
Unbegreiflich, wunderbar. 
Lebe wohl,  schönes Jahr!
