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,
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.
