by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
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 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.
