Mit schwarzen Segeln segelt mein Schiff
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]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.

Con nere vele veleggia la mia nave
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.
