I remember the English lyrics from an old Hymns for Ship and Fields songbook as follows:

How can I leave thee, how can I from thee part

Thou only has my heart, dear one, believe

Thou hast this soul of mine, so closely bound to thine

No other can I love, save thee alone.

Blue is the flowret, called the forget-me-not

Wear it upon thy heart and think of me

Flowret and hope shall die, but love with us shall stay

That cannot pass away, dear one, believe.

Would I a bird were, soon at thy side--

[abuenalu]

@abuenalu

3rd stanza reads:

Would I a bird were, soon at thy side will be

Falcon nor hawk wouldn't fear, speeding to thee

When by the fowler's slain, I at thy feet should die

Thou sadly shouldn't complain, joyful I die!

[Gwynsek]

@abuenalu Thanks for the translation,my German is poor and this helped a lot !
