Abschied
Language:
German
Ach mich hält der Gram gefangen,
Meinem Herzen ist so weh,
Denn ich soll von hinnen ziehen
Über jenes Berges Höh.
Was einst mein war, ist verloren,
Alle, alle Hoffnung flieht;
Ja, ich fürchte, daß, o Mädchen,
Dich mein Aug' nicht [wieder sieht]1.
Dunkel wird mein Weg sich dehnen,
Wenn ich scheiden muß von hier:
Steh' ich dann auf jenem Berge,
Seufz' ich [ein Mal]1 noch nach dir.

Despedida
Language:
Spanish
Oh, la tristeza me mantiene prisionero,
Mi corazón está tan herido,
Pues debo de salir de este lugar
¡Mas allá de la altura de la montaña!
Lo que una vez fue mio se perdió
Toda, toda la esperanza se ha ido;
Si, me temo, doncella, que
Mis ojos no te verán otra vez.
Oscuro es el camino delante mío,
Cuando me vaya de aquí:
Cuando esté en la cima de esa montaña:
Entonces yo suspiraré una vez más por ti.
