Sie blasen zum Abmarsch, Lieb Mütterlein. Mein Liebster muß scheiden Und läßt mich allein! Am Himmel die Sterne Sind kaum noch geflohn, Da feuert von ferne Das Fußvolk schon. Kaum hört er den Ton, Sein Ränzelein schnürt er, Von hinnen marschiert er, Mein Herz hinterdrein. Mein Liebster muß scheiden Und läßt mich allein! Mir ist wie dem Tag, Dem die Sonne geschwunden. Mein Trauern nicht mag So balde gesunden. Nach nichts ich frag, Keine Lust mehr heg ich, Nur Zwiesprach pfleg ich Mit meiner Pein-- Mein Liebster muß scheiden Und läßt mich allein!

Toquen a la marxa, mare estimada. El meu estimat se n’ha d’anar i em deixa sola! Al cel, les estrelles s’han envolat a penes, però, al lluny, ja obre foc la infanteria. Tot just sent el soroll, es corda la motxilla i marxa lluny d’aquí, el meu cor va al seu darrera. El meu estimat se n’ha d’anar i em deixa sola! Per a mi és com el dia en el que ha desaparegut el sol. El meu desconsol no minvarà tant de pressa. No demano res, res em fa goig, només dialogo amb la meva pena – El meu estimat se n’ha d’anar i em deixa sola!
