Mit schwarzen Segeln

(Sung text for setting by C. Griffes)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Mit schwarzen Segeln segelt mein Schiff
wohl über das wilde Meer;
du weißt, wie sehr ich traurig bin,
und kränkst mich noch 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.

Con nere vele veleggia la mia nave

(Sung text translation for setting by C. Griffes)

See original

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

Con nere vele veleggia la mia nave,
con nere vele sul tempestoso mare;
tu lo sai bene, quanto sono triste,
e il severo dolore che mi affligge.
 
Come il vento è incostante il tuo cuore
E come il vento muta direzione;
con nere vele veleggia la mia nave
con nere vele sul tempestoso mare.
