Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Ich stand gelehnet an den Mast,
Und zählte jede Welle.
Ade! mein schönes Vaterland!
Mein Schiff, das segelt schnelle!

Ich kam schön Liebchens Haus vorbei,
Die Fensterscheiben blinken;
Ich guck' mir fast die Augen aus,
Doch will mir niemand winken.

Op de boot

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Kücken)

See original

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

Ik stond, al leunend, aan de mast
En telde alle golven.
Vaarwel, mijn mooie vaderland!
Mijn schip rent snel als wolven!

Ik kwam mijn liefjes huis voorbij,
Het vensterglas, dat blonk er;
Ik keek mij haast de ogen uit,
Maar alles bleef er donker.
