Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
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.

На чёрных парусах
 (Sung text for setting by V. Nechayev)
 Matches base text
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the German (Deutsch) 
На чёрных парусах корабль 
несётся в диком море.
Ты знаешь как печален 
я и мучишь это горе. 

Как ветер сердце у тебя 
порхает на просторе;
На чёрных парусах корабль 
несётся в диком море.
