Parte la nave, spiegar le vele, vento crudele mi fa partir. Addio, Amanda, Amanda, addio, piacendo a Dio to rivedrò; non piangi, bella, non piangi, no! che al mio ritorno ti sposerò. Il capitano mi chiama a bordo, io faccio il sordo per non sentir. Addio, Amanda, Amanda, addio, etc. Vado a Levante, vado a Ponente; si trovo gente, ti scriverò. Addio, Amanda, Amanda, addio, etc.
G. Göhler sets stanzas 1, 3

Bald stößt vom Lande
Das Schiff geschwinde,
Grausame Winde
Reißen mich fort.
Fahrwohl, Amanda,
Wir müssen scheiden!
Gott wird uns Beiden
[Ja gnädig]1 sein.
Weine nicht [Holde]2,
[Weine nicht, nein!]3
Kehr' ich nach Hause,
Werd' ich dich frei'n.
[Mich ruft der Schiffsherr]4,
An Bord zu gehen,
Dich noch zu sehen,
Stell' ich mich taub.
Fahrwohl, Amanda, etc.
Nach Ost und Westen
Schweif' ich ins Weite,
Und treff' ich Leute,
Schreib' ich an dich.
Fahrwohl, Amanda, etc.
M. Bruch sets stanzas 1-2
