Wenn sich zwei Herzen scheiden,
Die sich dereinst geliebt,
Das ist ein großes Leiden,
Wie's größer keines gibt.
Es klingt das Wort so traurig gar:
Fahr' wohl, fahr' wohl auf immerdar!
Wenn sich zwei Herzen scheiden,
Die sich dereinst geliebt.
Da ich zuerst empfunden,
Daß Liebe brechen mag:
Mir war's, als sei verschwunden
Die Sonn' am hellen Tag.
Im Ohre klang mir's wunderbar:
Fahr' wohl, fahr' wohl auf immerdar!
Da ich zuerst empfunden,
Daß Liebe brechen mag.

Quan dos cors se separen,
els que un cert dia s’estimaren,
això és un gran sofriment,
que no n’hi altre de més gran.
Debò, sona tan tristament la paraula:
adéu, adéu, per sempre més!
Quan dos cors se separen,
els que un cert dia s’estimaren.
Quan primerament sentí
que l’amor pot lacerar:
per a mi, fou com si, en ple dia,
el sol s’hagués eclipsat.
Prodigiosament sona a les meves orelles:
adéu, adéu, per sempre més!
Quan primerament sentí
que l’amor pot lacerar.
