Entflieh mit mir und sei mein Weib
Language: German (Deutsch)
Entflieh mit mir und sei mein Weib, Und ruh' an meinem Herzen aus; [Fern in der Fremde]1 sei mein Herz [Dein]2 Vaterland und Vaterhaus. [Gehst du nicht mit, so sterb ich hier]3 Und du bist einsam und allein; Und bleibst du auch im Vaterhaus, Wirst doch wie in der Fremde sein.
B. Walter sets stanzas 1-2, 1

Kom, vlucht met mij en wees mijn vrouw
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)
Kom, vlucht met mij en wees mijn vrouw, Rust aan mijn borst en voel je thuis, Ver in den vreemde ben 'k voor jou Én vaderland én vaderhuis. [Ga jij niet mee]1, dan sterf ik hier, En jij bent eenzaam en vervreemd; Al blijf je ook in 't vaderhuis, Je voelt je straks daar toch ontheemd."
