Original text and translations

English text

The sky is so blue, and all nature is gay;
Farewell, dearest Mary, for I must away.
With heart true and firm, and with staff in my hand,
I’ll take up my journey to a far distant land.

Beyond the white plains on the banks of the Rhine,
Shall fortune and riches be speedily mine.
The sky is so blue, and all nature is gay;
Farewell, dearest Mary, for I must away.
