Abreise

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
So hab' ich nun die Stadt verlassen, 
Wo ich gelebet lange Zeit; 
Ich ziehe rüstig meiner Straßen, 
Es gibt mir niemand das Geleit.

Man hat mir nicht den Rock zerrissen, 
Es wär' auch schade für das Kleid! 
Noch in die Wange mich gebissen 
Vor übergroßem Herzeleid.

Auch keinem hat's den Schlaf vertrieben, 
Daß ich am Morgen weitergeh'; 
Sie konnten's halten nach Belieben,
Von einer aber tut mir's weh.
