Lehn deine Wang' an meine Wang', Dann fliessen die Tränen zusammen; Und an mein Herz drück fest dein Herz, Dann schlagen zusammen die Flammen! Und wenn in die große Flamme fliesst Der Strom von [unsern]1 Tränen, Und wenn [dich mein Arm]2 gewaltig umschließt - Sterb' ich vor Liebessehnen!

6. Wasserfahrt [sung text not yet checked]
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich stand gelehnet an den Mast, Und zählte jede Welle. [Ade!]1 mein schönes Vaterland! Mein Schiff, das segelt schnelle! Ich [kam schön]2 Liebchens Haus vorbei, Die Fensterscheiben blinken; Ich [guck']3 mir fast die Augen aus, Doch [will mir niemand]4 winken. Ihr Tränen, bleibt mir aus dem Aug', Daß ich nicht dunkel sehe. [Mein krankes]5 Herze brich mir nicht Vor [allzugroßem]6 Wehe.
