Schwelle die Segel, günstiger Wind! Trage mein Schiff an das Ufer der Ferne; Scheiden muß ich, so scheid' ich gerne, Schwelle die Segel, günstiger Wind! Schwelle die Segel, günstiger Wind! Daß ich den Boden, den heimischen schaue, Fahre du wohl, Helvetiens Aue, Schwelle die Segel, günstiger Wind! Schwelle die Segel, günstiger Wind! Wenn ich auch hier in Entzücken verweile, Drüben knüpfen mich liebende Seile, Schwelle die Segel, günstiger Wind!
F. Kiel sets stanzas 1, 3

Infla les veles, vent favorable! Porta la meva nau ves la riba llunyana; si haig de marxar, llavors de bon grat partiré, infla les veles, vent favorable! Infla les veles, vent favorable! Que pugui veure la terra del meu país, adéu prades helvètiques, infla les veles, vent favorable! Infla les veles, vent favorable! Encara que la meva estada aquí fou un encant, vincles afectuosos em lliguen a l’altra banda, infla les veles, vent favorable!
