In this fair land you’ll stay no more

Your labor is in vain

You’ll leave the mountains of our birth

And seek the fertile plains

You’re going to the West

Chorus:

You say you will not go with me

You’ll 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 goin to the west

Chorus:

You say you will not go with me…

You’ll leave me here in this land I love

It seems so bright and fair

Where fragrant flowers bloom

And music fills the air

You’re going to the west

Chorus:

You say you will not go with me…
