Sausewind, Brausewind
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE FRE ITA
Sausewind, Brausewind,
Dort und hier!
Deine Heimat sage mir!
 
"Kindlein, wir fahren
Seit [viel vielen]1 Jahren
Durch die [weit weite Welt]2,
Und möchten's erfragen,
Die Antwort erjagen,
Bei den Bergen, den Meeren,
Bei des Himmels klingenden Heeren:
Die wissen es nie.
Bist du klüger als sie,
Magst du es sagen.
-- Fort, wohlauf!
Halt uns nicht auf!
Kommen andre nach, unsre Brüder,
Da frag wieder!"
 
Halt an! Gemach,
Eine kleine Frist!
Sagt, wo der Liebe Heimat ist,
Ihr Anfang, [ihr]3 Ende?
 
"Wer's nennen könnte!
Schelmisches Kind,
Lieb' ist [wie Wind]4,
Rasch und lebendig,
Ruhet nie,
Ewig ist sie,
Aber nicht immer beständig.
-- Fort! [Wohlauf! auf!]5
Halt uns nicht auf!
Fort über [Stoppel]6 und Wälder und Wiesen!
Wenn ich dein [Schätzchen]7 seh',
Will ich es grüßen.
Kindlein, ade!"
