  Fahr wohl,
O Vöglein, das nun wandern soll;
Der Sommer fährt von hinnen,
Du willst mit ihm entrinnen:
  Fahr wohl, fahr wohl!

  Fahr wohl,
O Blättlein, das nun fallen soll,
Dich hat rot angestrahlet
Der Herbst im Tod gemalet:
  Fahr wohl, fahr wohl! 

 ... 

  Fahr wohl,
All Liebes, das nun scheiden soll! 
Und ob es so geschehe,
Daß ich nicht mehr dich sehe,
  Fahr wohl, fahr wohl,
    Fahr wohl!

Bon viatge

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Brahms)

See original

Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)

Bon viatge,
oh ocellet que ara has de migrar,
l’estiu se’n va d’aquí
i tu vols escapolir-te amb ell:
bon viatge, bon viatge!

Bon viatge,
oh petita fulla que ara has de caure,
t’ha pintat de vermell
al morir la tardor:
bon viatge, bon viatge!

 ... 

Bon viatge,
oh estimada que ara te n’has d’anar!
I si mai s’esdevé 
que no et torni a veure:
bon viatge, bon viatge,
bon viatge!

Note: the text above is taken from stanzas 1-2,5 of the original text.
