A wind blows from the south and pulls me out to sea
My child, don't be sad, saying goodbye hurts too
My heart goes on board and the journey must go on
Your pain will pass and the reunion will be nice
The longing takes me far into the blue distance
Below me the sea and above me the night and stars
In front of me the world, the wind drives me of life
Don't cry, my child, the tears are in vain
Up, sailors, oh! At some point it has to be over
Only memories of hours of love remain on land
A sailor's bride is the sea and he can only be faithful to her
When the storm wind sings its song, then it beckons to me great freedom happiness
