Original text and translations

English text

One kind wish before we part,
Drop a tear and bid adieu;
Though we sever, my fond heart,
Till we meet, shall pant for you.

Yet, yet weep not so, my love,
Let me kiss that falling tear;
Though my body must remove,
All my soul will still be here,

All my soul, and all my heart,
And ev’ry wish shall pant for you;
One kind kiss, then, ere we part,
Drop a tear, and bid adieu.
