Wenn die Schwalben heimwärts ziehn, Wenn die Rosen nicht mehr blühn, Wenn der Nachtigall Gesang Mir der Nachtigall verklang, Fragst das Herz in bangem Schmerz, Ob ich euch wiederseh'? Scheiden, ach scheiden, Scheiden tut weh. Wenn die Schwäne südlich ziehn, Dorthin, wo Zitronen blühn, Wenn das Abendrot versinkt, Durch die grünen Wälder blinkt, Fragt das Herz in bangem Schmerz, Ob ich dich auch wiederseh? Scheiden, ach Scheiden, Scheiden tut weh. Armes Herz, was klagest du? O auch du gehst einst zur Ruh. Was auf Erden muß vergehn, Gibt es wohl ein Wiedersehn? Fragt das Herz in bangem Schmerz, Glaub' daß ich dich wiederseh, Tut auch heut' Das Scheiden so weh.
H. Wolf sets stanza 1

Quan marxen les orenetes, quan les roses ja no floreixen, quan el cant del rossinyol ja es deixa de sentir, amb angoixosa pena el meu cor es pregunta: us tornaré a veure? La partença, ai, la partença, és dolorosa la partença. Quan els cignes volen cap al sud, allà on els llimoners floreixen, quan s’abat la vermellor del capvespre, brillant a través de la verdor dels boscos, amb angoixosa pena el meu cor es pregunta: et tornaré a veure? La partença, ai, la partença, és dolorosa la partença. Pobre cor, per què et planys? Un dia tu també aniràs a repòs. El que a la terra ha de desaparèixer es pot tornar a veure? Amb angoixosa pena el meu cor es pregunta, creu que et tornaré a veure, avui, malgrat tot, és tan dolorosa la partença.
