Auf der fernen See ein Segel steht,
Mein Schatz ist [auf der]1 See;
Der Wind mir an die Beine weht,
Der Wind, der Wind [von]2 der See.
Blas ihn her zu mir, blas ihn [schnell zu mir her]3,
Du Wind, du Wind [auf der]4 See;
Mein Herz ist [so tief, so tief]5 wie das Meer
Und so stark wie der Wind auf der See.

Chanson de la mie du marin
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Au loin sur la mer, il y a une voile,
Mon trésor est sur la mer ;
Le vent me souffle sur les jambes,
Le vent, le vent de la mer.
Souffle-le jusqu'à moi, souffle-le vite jusqu'à moi,
Toi, vent, toi, vent sur la mer ;
Mon cœur est si profond, aussi profond que la mer,
Et aussi fort que le vent sur la mer.
