Alone I am in the night
My souls is awake and listening
Oh heart, do you hear, the way it sounds,
How it is singing and hissing in the palm trees?
The wind has told me a song
Of a happiness, so beautiful no words can tell
He knows what my heart is missing
For whom it beats and burns
He knows for whom
Come, come - alas!
The wind has told me a song
Of a heart that I miss
Many times I have been at the sea in the evening
And I hoped - for what?
I followed coloured birds with my eyes
Alas, my fortune broke like glass
The wind has told me a song
Of a happiness, so beautiful no words can tell
He knows what my heart is missing
For whom it beats and burns
He knows for whom
Come, come - alas!
The wind has told me a song
Of a heart that I miss
The wind... the wind... the wind
