Our translations: DUT

Von dir, mein Lieb, ich scheiden muß,
Wie ist mein Herz so schwer!
Uns trennt nach grimmem Schicksalsschluß
Das weite, öde Meer.
Das weite Meer, das brausend wild,
Wogt zwischen dir und mir,
Trennt von der Seele nicht dein Bild,
Und nicht mein Herz von dir.

Bij jou, mijn lief

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Hensel)

See original

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

Bij jou, mijn lief, moet ik vandaan,
En uit mijn land weggaan!
Ons scheidt het wrede lot voortaan,
De wijde oceaan.
Maar d’ oceaan, die bruisend wild
Mij scheiden zal van jou,
Haalt uit mijn ziel weg nooit jouw beeld,
Mijn hart blijft steeds jou trouw.
