Bald stößt vom Lande 
Das Schiff geschwinde,
Grausame Winde 
Reißen mich fort.
  Fahrwohl, Amanda,  
  Wir müssen scheiden!
  Gott wird uns Beiden 
  Gnädig sein. 
  Weine nicht, o Holde,
   ... 
  Kehr' ich nach Hause,
  Werd' ich dich frei'n.

Schon ruft der Schiffsherr,
An Bord zu gehen,
Dich noch zu sehen, 
Stell' ich mich taub.
  Fahrwohl, Amanda, etc.

The ship departs

(Sung text translation for setting by M. Bruch)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Soon the ship shall
Rapidly push off from land,
Cruel winds
Tear me away.
  Farewell, Amanda,
  We must part!
  To the two of us God will
  Be merciful
  Do not weep, oh lovely one one,
   ... 
  When I return home,
  I shall marry you.

The captain is already calling
To come aboard;
To see you for a bit longer
I pretend to be deaf.
  Farewell, Amanda, etc.

 ...

Note: the text above is taken from stanzas 1-2 of the original text.
