In der Ferne
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FIN FRE GRE ITA KOR LIT NOR SPA
Wehe dem Fliehenden
Welt hinaus ziehenden! -
Fremde durchmessenden,
Heimath vergessenden,
Mutterhaus hassenden,
Freunde verlassenden
Folget kein Segen, ach!
Auf ihren Wegen nach!

Herze, das sehnende,
Auge, das thränende,
Sehnsucht, nie endende,
Heimwärts sich wendende!
Busen, der wallende,
Klage, verhallende,
Abendstern, blinkender,
Hoffnungslos sinkender!

Lüfte, Ihr säuselnden,
Wellen sanft kräuselnden,
Sonnenstrahl, eilender,
Nirgend verweilender:
Die mir mit Schmerze, ach!
Dies treue Herze brach, -
Grüßt von [dem]1 Fliehenden,
Welt hinaus ziehenden!

In den vreemde
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Wee aan de zuchtende,
Wereld ontvluchtende! -
Vreemd land doorkruisenden,
Thuisland verguizenden,
Vaderhuis hatenden,
Vrienden verlatenden,
Hen volgt de zegen niet,
Op al hun wegen niet!
 
Hart, jij steeds smachtende,
Oog, niets verwachtende,
Hunk'ring, nooit  eindigend,
Heimwee, zo pijnigend!
Boezem, opzwellende,
Klacht, o zo kwellende
Avondster, blinkende
Wanhopig zinkende!

Winden, gij suizenden,
Golven, zacht ruisenden,
Zonnestraal, ijlende,
Nergens verwijlende:
Breng die met grote smart
Stukbrak dit trouwe hart,
Groet van de zuchtende,
Wereld ontvluchtende!
