English text

Soft winds blowing from the west,
Waft my love to me;
O, speed my dear one home to rest,
Speed my love to me.
O’er the waters’ ceaseless flow,
Murmur gently, murmur low;
Summer breezes, softly blow,
Blow my love to me, my love to me.

Silver moon and stars above,
Guide my love to me;
Ye lamps of night,
O light my love, Light my love to me.
O’er the restless flowing tide,
O’er the waters dark and wide,
Lamps of night, shine out, and guide—
Guide my love to me, my love to me.
