Lyrics:

In this fair land you'll stay no more
Here labor is in vain
You'll leave the mountains of our birth
And seek the fertile plain
You're going to the west

You say you will not go with me
You turn your eyes away
You say you will not follow me
No matter what I say
I'm going to the west


Years have passed since we first met
When you became my bride
Now I must journey far away
Without you by my side
I'm going to the west


You say you will not go with me
You turn your eyes away
You say you will not follow me
No matter what I say
I'm going to the west


You'll leave me here in this land I love
Midst scenes so bright and fair
Where fragrant flowers bloom
And music fills the air
You're going to the west


You say you will not go with me
You turn your eyes away
You say you will not follow me
No matter what I say
I'm going to the west
I'm going to the west
