Nun zieh' ich einsam meinen Weg, Du musstest von mir scheiden, Die Sonne scheint den Blumen am Steg Und scheint in's Herz uns beiden. Denn ob wir uns auch ferne sind Wir wissen doch, du süsses Kind: Mag Lenz und Los sich wenden, Die Liebe kann nicht enden. Wie blüht die Welt so schön und reich, Seit Du mein eigen worden, Es kommt kein Glück dem meinen gleich Vom Süden bis zum Norden. Der trägt wohl schwer, der Abschied nimmt. Eins aber hält uns froh gestimmt: Mag Lenz und Los sich wenden, Die Liebe kann nicht enden. Und der's der kleinen Schwalbe sagt, Es blüht daheim der Flieder, Gab uns ein Ahnen unverzagt: Wir haben bald uns wieder. Ein süss' Erinnern schimmert drein, So denk' ich Dein, so denkst Du mein, Mag Lenz und Los sich wenden, Die Lieb' kann nimmer enden.

Now I go my way in solitude, You had to part from me. The sun shines upon the flowers beside the path And shines into both of our hearts. For though we may be far from each other, We nevertheless know, you sweet child: Though springtime and fortune may turn, Love cannot end. How beautifully and bountifully the world blooms Since you became my own; No happiness can compare to mine From south to north. He who takes leave surely has much to bear. But one thing keeps us joyful: Though springtime and fortune may turn, Love cannot end. And He who told the little swallow That the lilac is blooming back home, Gave us a premonition from which we cannot be deterred: We shall soon be together again. A sweet memory shimmers therein, Thus I think of you, thus you think of me, Though springtime and fortune may turn, Love can never end.
