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
