Across the sea

Across the sea,

Far across the sea,

My sweetheart has gone;

My heart is

Full of sorrow and woe,

And it has flown after him fearfully.

The sea storms,

Wildly storms the sea;

Tempests chase darkly,

The sun sinks,

The world becomes empty,

And my heart despairs.

I am alone,

Ah, ever alone;

My strength is vanishing,

And I must go back

In feeble pain,

For I can never find you.
