Der Wind hat mir ein Lied erzählt [English translation]

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
