Die Freunde sie ziehen zum Thor hinaus – ade
Sie ziehen weit fort in die Welt hinaus – Ade!

My friends are departing through the gateway -- adieu
They are faring forth, far out into the world -- Adieu!
The little old mother is gazing out of the window
And is crying out her eyes over them! Adieu!
Ah! Must we indeed part?
Remember me! Adieu! Adieu!
You dear, dear, precious friends!
Farewell! Adieu! Adieu!
We shall never, never see each other again in all eternity!
You precious dear friends of mine
Farewell then[!] Must it be?
Oh, you dear ones, do not fare forth from me!
Ah no! Ah no!
I find it so hard to speak the parting word Adieu!

We shall never, never[,] never[,] see each other again!
May God protect you!
Happiness departs with them! Adieu!
Ah! Must it be [spoken], the parting word adieu!

May God be with you! Adieu! Remember me!
