1. Mit schwarzen Segeln segelt mein Schiff  [sung text not yet checked]
by Robert Pflughaupt (1833 - 1871), "Mit schwarzen Segeln segelt mein Schiff", op. 7 (Vier Lieder) no. 4
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mit schwarzen Segeln segelt mein Schiff
wohl über das wilde Meer;
du weißt, wie sehr ich traurig bin,
und kränkst mich [noch]1 so schwer.

Dein Herz ist treulos wie der Wind
und flattert hin und her;
mit schwarzen Segeln segelt mein Schiff
wohl über das wilde Meer.

1 Griffes: "doch"

by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
1. With black sails my ship plows
Language: English 
 With black sails my ship plows
 across the wild ocean;
 you know how very sad I am,
 and yet you hurt me all the more.
 
 Your heart is perfidious like the wind
 and flutters back and forth;
 with black sails my ship plows
 across the wild ocean.
