Seaman

(Translation To: Seemann)

Come in my boat

a storm is rising

and it is becoming night

Where do you want to go

so completely alone

you are drifting away

Who holds your hand

when it pulls you under

Where do you want to go

the cold sea is boundless

Come in my boat

the autumn wind holds

the sails taut

Now you are standing by the lantern

with tears in your face

the daylight falls on the side

the autumn wind sweeps the streets clear

Now you are standing by the lantern

you have tears in your face

the evening light chases away the shadows

time stands still and it becomes autumn

Come in my boat

the helmsman feels longing

Come in my boat

I was the best seaman

Now you are standing by the lantern

you have tears in your face

you take the fire from the candle

time stands still and it becomes autumn

They only spoke of your mother

only the night is so merciless

at the end I am left alone

time stands still

and I am cold
