Дуют ветры, 
ветры буйные,
Ходят тучи, 
ходят тучи тёмные.

Не видать в них 
света белого,
Не видать в них 
солнца красного.

Во сырой во мгле, 
за туманами,
Только ночка, 
лишь чернеется —

Дуют ветры, 
ветры буйные,
Ходят тучи, 
ходят тучи тёмные.

Не видать в них 
света белого,
Не видать в них 
солнца красного.

Es pfeift der Wind

(Sung text translation for setting by M. Musorgsky)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Russian (Русский)

Es pfeift der Wind, 
es pfeift der rasende Orkan.
Es droht das Wolkenmeer, 
droht das dunkle Wolkenmeer.

Dunkle Wolken ziehen drohend auf, 
ziehen finster auf. 
Nie schaust du durch den Wolkenschleier,
kaum, dass du ahnst die weite Welt.

Nie schaust du durch den Wolkenschleier.
Wo ist nur die liebe Sonne, 
die schöe, gute? 
Ja, die liebe Sonne ist fern.

Es pfeift der Wind, 
es pfeift der rasende Orkan.
Es droht das Wolkenmeer, 
droht das dunkle Wolkenmeer.

Dunkle Wolken ziehen drohend auf, 
ziehen finster auf. 
Nie schaust du durch den Wolkenschleier,
kaum, dass du ahnst die weite Welt.
