by Anonymous / Unidentified Author
Translation by Luise Wolf (1860 - 1942)

Vous, légères brises du sud et de l’est
Language: French (Français)  after the Maori 
Vous, légères brises du sud et de l’est,
Qui vous joignez pour vous jouer 
et vous caresser au-dessus de ma tête,
Hâtez-vous de courir ensemble à l’autre Île.
Vous y trouverez, assis à l’ombre de son arbre favori,
Celui qui m’a abandonnée.
Dites-lui que vous m’avez vue en pleurs.

Tehuras Lied
 (Sung text for setting by E. Erdmann)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the French (Français) 
Ihr leisen Winde von Süd und Ost,
Die ein zärtlich Spiel über meinem Haupte vereint,
Eilt schnell zur nächsten Insel hin.
Dort findet ihr im Schatten seines Lieblingsbaumes
Ihn, der mich verlassen hat.
Sagt ihm, daß ihr in Tränen mich gesehn.
