The Wind

Once in time
That was a distant kingdom
Where the orient wind blows over the sands

In this land a lovely girl used to sing
Waiting for her love
to come back from a journey

Oh... wind
Blow beyond my sing
Where the red sun never rests
And keep my dear safe

Oh... wind
Bring me news from my love
Tell her not to be afraid
I'm returning for her embrace

But one day
A wealthy merchant came for trading
And he felt drawn to the girl's charm

Then this man
Talked to her stepfather
And persuade him to concede her hand

Oh... wind
Take the sound of my flute
Make these sad notes be heard by him
I know he will perceive

Oh... wind
Give speed to my horse
Cause I've heard her sad tune
And there's no time to lose

Oh... my love
To the farway lands we go
Where the sun shines over the sea
And happiness never ends

Oh... my dear
I have a new song for you
All it's tender and peaceful notes
Were written by the wind
