Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Ich fahr dahin, wenn es muß sein,
Ich scheid mich von der Liebsten mein,
Zuletzt laß ich das Herze mein,
Dieweil ich leb, so soll es sein.
Ich fahr dahin, ich fahr dahin!

 ... 

Ich bitt dich, liebste Fraue mein,
Wann ich dich mein und anders kein,
Wann ich dir gib mein Lieb allein,
Gedenk, daß ich dein eigen bin.
Ich fahr dahin, ich fahr dahin!

Ik ga nu weg, het moet zo zijn

(Sung text translation for setting by L. Keller)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Ik ga nu weg, het moet zo zijn,
‘k Neem afscheid van mijn serafijn,
Als laatste laat ik haar mijn hart,
Zolang ik leef blijft dat haar part.
Ik ga nu heen, ik ga nu heen.

 ... 

Ik bid je, liefste vrouw van mij,
Als 'k denk aan jou en anders geen,
Als ik jou geef mijn liefd' alleen,
Bedenk, dat ik de jouwe ben.
Ik ga nu heen, ik ga nu heen.
