by Emanuel von Geibel (1815 - 1884)

Abreise
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Es kommt ein Schiff gezogen,
Rot glühen die Segel im Abendschein,
Der Wind kommt kosend geflogen,
Und leise plätschern die Wogen,
Und Hörnerton schallt darein.
Trarah, trarah, trarah, trarah!

Und an des Schiffleins Rande
Steht hoch der Knab' und er schwingt das Pokal;
Ihr Vöglein, ihr flieget zum Strande,
O grüßt im heimischen Lande
Die Lieben viel tausend mal.
Trarah, trarah, trarah, trarah!
