English text

Good night, the hour of parting
With all its pain is here,
And tears from eyelids starting,
Proclaim these moments dear;
And tears from eyelids starting,
Proclaim these moments dear.
We bid you all goodnight,
Goodnight, goodnight.

Goodnight, how sweet the moments
Of joy we here have known,
And coming is the harvest
Of seed we here have sown;
Yes, coming is the harvest
Of seed we here have sown.
Goodnight, goodnight to all,
Goodnight, goodnight.

Goodnight, oh, joyful measure;
Oh, house, where blisses reign—
In new and sweeter pleasure,
Ah, soon we meet again;
In new and sweeter pleasures,
Ah, soon we meet again.
Goodnight, farewell, dear friends.
Goodnight, goodnight.
