Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA

Entflieh mit mir und sei mein Weib,
Und ruh' an meinem Herzen aus;
Fern in der Fremde sei mein Herz
Dein Vaterland und Vaterhaus.

Gehst du nicht mit, so sterb ich hier
Und du bist einsam und allein;
Und bleibst du auch im Vaterhaus,
Wirst doch wie in der Fremde sein.

Entflieh mit mir und sei mein Weib,
Und ruh' an meinem Herzen aus;
Fern in der Fremde sei mein Herz
Dein Vaterland und Vaterhaus.

Enfuis‑toi avec moi et sois ma femme

(Sung text translation for setting by B. Walter)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Enfuis-toi avec moi et sois ma femme,
Et repose sur mon cœur ;
Au loin à l'étranger que mon cœur
Soit ta patrie et ta maison paternelle.

Si tu ne t'enfuies pas, alors je mourrai ici
Et tu seras solitaire et seule ;
Et tu resteras dans la maison de ton père,
Mais ce sera un pays étranger pour toi.

Enfuis-toi avec moi et sois ma femme,
Et repose sur mon cœur ;
Au loin à l'étranger que mon cœur
Soit ta patrie et ta maison paternelle.
