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
