Zerffi, the journalist who spied for the Hapsburg regime,
is not the translator who wrote the following German version.

What follows was included in the book Ungarische Lyriker, from 1875.
The lyric, as adapted and published with Franz Liszt's sheet music,
was included with an assortment of other Hungarian poets;
only the German translations, not the Hungarian originals, were printed.

The German translator's name is Gustav Steinacker.

Lebe wohl, lebe wohl!
Ach! wie fern zieh' ich von dir,
Doch dein Bild, dein süßes Bildnis,
Trag' im Herzen ich mit mir.

Nimm die Seele, nimm die Seele
Als ein heilig Pfand dafür,
Nur gib' Liebe, aber treue,
Gib', ach, treue Liebe mir!
