by Friedrich Marc (b. 1819)

Wir wandern aus dem Vaterland
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Chosen for Diff
Wir wandern aus dem Vaterland 
Wol über Berg und Thal.
So geht es immer weiter hin,
Da schaut zurück der trübe Sinn.
     [Ade, ade.]1

Zu manchem Dorf, zu mancher Stadt
Geleitet uns der Weg.
Ob Alles deutsche Worte spricht,
Die Heimath ist es immer nicht.
     [Ade, ade.]1

Doch wenn wir über'm Wasser sind,
Bei fremdem Volk allein,
Sind auch verschwunden Land und Leut',
Die unser [deutsches]2 Herz gefreut.
     [Ade, ade.]1

Wir sind nun einmal auf dem Weg,
Bald fährt das Schiff vom Land.
Es ist umsonst zurückzuseh'n,
Wir müssen, müssen weiter geh'n.
     [Ade, ade.]1
