Language: German (Deutsch) after the German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Über die Berge
Zieht ihr fort;
Kommt an manchen
Grünen Ort,
Muß zurücke
Ganz allein;
Lebet wohl!
Es muß so seyn.
Scheiden,
Meiden,
Was man liebt,
Ach wie wird
Das Herz betrübt!
O Seenspiegel,
Wald und Hügel
Schwinden all';
Hör' verschwimmen
Eurer Stimmen
Wiederhall.
Lebt wohl!
Klingt klagevoll.
Ach wie wird
Das Herz betrübt!
Scheiden,
Meiden,
Was man liebt.
Note: Schubert received Mayrhofer's texts generally in handwriting; the printed edition of Mayrhofer's poems appeared much later and presents the texts usually in a revised version. This version does not appear to exist in published form apart from Schubert's song.

Farewell
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Over the mountains
You are setting off;
You will come to many
Green places,
[I] have to go back
Completely alone;
Farewell!
This is how it has to be.
Parting
Avoiding
What one loves,
Oh how
Distressed the heart is becoming!
Oh, the lake-mirror,
Forest and hills,
They are all disappearing;
[I] can hear the decay
Of your voices'
Echo.
Fare well!
Ring out full of lamenting.
Oh how
Distressed the heart is becoming!
Parting,
Avoiding
What one loves.
