Ade zur guten Nacht [English translation]

Farewell and good night -

Now the end has come

Since I have to leave!

In summer, the clover grows

In winter, the snow snows

Then I'll come again!

In summer, the clover grows

In winter, the snow snows

Then I'll come again!

The hills and dales are mourning

That I walked over

Many thousand times!

That is what your beauty did

Making me love

With great longing!

That is what your beauty did,

Making me love

With great longing!

The little stream runs and rushes

Under the elder brush

Where we sat!

How many tolls of the bell

Heart upon heart

you have forgotten that!

How many tolls of the bell

Heart upon heart

you have forgotten that!

The girls in this world

Are falser than money

With their love!

Farewell and good night -

Now the end has come

Since I have to leave!

Farewell and good night -

Now the end has come

Since I have to leave!
