Our translations: 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.

Afscheid

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

Over de bergen 
trek je weg,
Komt op menige 
groene plek;
Teruggaan moet ik 
heel alleen,
Dus vaarwel! 
Zo viel de steen.
Lijden, 
scheiden 
van wie men houdt,
Ach, dat maakt 
het hart benauwd!
O merenspiegel, 
bos en heuvels 
wijken al;
'k Hoor verklinken 
jullie helder stemgeschal.
Vaarwel! 
klinkt klagelijk,
Ach, dat maakt 
het hart benauwd:
Laten gaan van 
wie men houdt!
Vaarwel! 
klinkt klagelijk.
