by Otto Julius Bierbaum (1865 - 1910)

Auf der fernen See ein Segel steht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE FRE
Auf der fernen See ein Segel steht,
Mein Schatz ist auf der See;
Der Wind mir an die Beine weht,
Der Wind, der Wind von der See.

Blas ihn her zu mir, blas ihn schnell zu mir her,
Du Wind, du Wind auf der See;
Mein Herz ist so tief, so tief wie das Meer
Und so stark wie der Wind auf der See.
