Abschied
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Ein Spielmann, der muß reisen,
das ist ein alter Brauch,
drum weht aus seinen Weisen
auch stets ein Abschiedshauch.
Ob ich einst wiederkehre?
Mein Lieb, das weiß ich nicht.
Des Todes Hand, die Schwere,
viel Rosenknospen bricht.

Adieu
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Un ménestrel, il doit voyager,
C'est une vieille coutume,
Tout autour souffle de ses mélodies
Toujours un air d'adieu.
Reviendrai-je un jour ?
mon amour, je ne le sais pas,
La main de la mort qui est lourde
Brise maints bourgeons de roses.
