Abschied
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Lebe wohl! du lieber Freund!
Ziehe hin in fernes Land,
Nimm der Freundschaft trautes Band -
Und bewahr's in treuer Hand!
Lebe wohl! du lieber Freund!
Lebe wohl, du lieber Freund!
Hör' in diesem Trauersang
Meines Herzens innern Drang,
Tönt er doch so dumpf und bang.
Lebe wohl, du lieber Freund!
Lebe wohl, du lieber Freund!
Scheiden heißt das bitt're Wort,
Weh, es ruft dich von uns fort
Hin an den Bestimmungsort.
Lebe wohl, du lieber Freund!
Lebe wohl, du lieber Freund!
Wenn dieß Lied dein Herz ergreift,
Freundes Schatten näher schweift,
Meiner Seele Saiten streift.
Lebe wohl, du lieber Freund!

Départ
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Adieu, cher ami !
Pars vers cette terre lointaine,
Prends le lien intime de l'amitié,
Et chéris-le dans ta main fidèle !
Adieu, cher ami !
Adieu, cher ami !
Écoute dans ce chant désolé
La pression interne pincement de mon cœur,
Il sonne si étouffé et anxieux,
Adieu, cher ami !
Adieu, cher ami !
Départ est un mot amer,
Hélas, tu es appelé loin de nous,
Vers le lieu de ta destination.
Adieu, cher ami !
Adieu, cher ami !
Quand ce chant touchera ton cœur,
L'ombre de ton ami flottera tout près,
Effleurant les cordes de mon âme.
Adieu, cher ami !
