English translations of Drei Lieder, opus 8
by Hermann Marschall (1839 - 1888)
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.

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.
