Liebesgruß aus der Ferne
 (Sung text for setting by C. Weber)
 See base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT FRE
Sind wir geschieden,
Und ich muß leben ohne dich,
Gib dich zufrieden,
Du bist mein einz'ges Licht.
Bleib' mir beständig,
Treu, unabwendig:
Mein letzter Tropfen Blut
Sei dir, mein Engel, gut.

Ich will indessen,
Mein Engel und mein Kind,
Dein nicht vergessen,
Du bleibest mir in dem Sinn.
Die Zeit wird's fügen,
Dass mein Vergnügen
Nach überstand'ner Pein
Wird desto größer sein.

Weht, weht, ihr Winde,
Und bringt mir einen Gruß
Von meinem schönsten Kinde,
Darum ich trauern muß.
Küßt ihr die Wangen,
Sagt mein Verlangen,
Bringt ihr die Botschaft mein:
Ich leb' und sterbe dein.

Zijn wij gescheiden
 (Sung text translation for setting by C. Weber)
 See original
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Zijn wij gescheiden,
En moet ik leven zonder jou,
Wees toch tevreden:
Jij bent mijn een’ge vrouw.
Blijf mij standvastig
Trouw, steeds geestkrachtig:
Mijn laatste druppel bloed
Wijd ‘k jou, mijn engel goed.

Ik zal - wil ‘t weten! -,
Mijn engel en mijn kind,
Jou niet vergeten,
Jij blijft door mij bemind.
De tijd zal ’t voegen,
Dat mijn genoegen
Na overwonnen pijn
Zal des te groter zijn.

Waai, waai, o winden,
En breng mij vlug een groet
Van mijn zo teerbeminde,
Om wie ik treuren moet.
Kus haar de wangen,
Meld mijn verlangen,
Breng haar mijn boodschap gauw:
Ik leef en sterf voor jou.
