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.
Note: Schubert received Mayrhofer's texts generally in handwriting; the printed edition of Mayrhofer's poems appeared much later and presents the texts usually in a revised version. This version does not appear to exist in published form apart from Schubert's song.

Te ne vai via per i monti In molti luoghi di verde ricoperti; Debbo tornare tutto solo, Addio! E' questo il mio destino. Separarsi, lasciare chi si vuole bene, Oh, al cuore porta tante pene! Il lago limpido, il bosco, la collina sembra svanire; E l'eco della tua voce sento scomparire. Addio! Risuona un lamento, Oh, al cuore porta tanto tormento, Separarsi, lasciare chi si ama; Addio! Come un lamento risuona.
