Seine Heimat war die See(original) |
Die Hand am Ruder, auf seinem Schiff |
Von rauer Fahrt gezeichnet, sein Angesicht |
Alle Welt hat er befahren |
Für das Meer war er gebor’n |
Seine Augen blickten furchtlos in den Sturm |
Denn seine Heimat war die See |
Seine Heimat war die See |
In der weiten Ferne unterm Licht der Sterne |
Sah man ihn auf der Brücke steh’n |
Seine Heimat war die See |
Seine Heimat war die See |
In der weiten Ferne unterm Licht der Sterne |
Sah man ihn einsam untergeh’n |
Er war unser Kapitän |
(Strophe 2) |
Vom Kap der Stürme bis Feuerland |
Des Südens Sternenbilder war’n ihm bekannt |
Dort wo keiner sonst gewesen |
Dahin führte stets sein Kurs |
Seinem Schiff hielt er die Treue bis zum Schluss |
(Strophe 3) |
Die Hand am Ruder, steht er noch heut |
Den Blick nach vorn gerichtet, in Ewigkeit |
Vom Gezeitenstrom geborgen |
In die Tiefe heimgebracht |
Hält er einsam seine letzte Ankerwacht |
(translation) |
His hand on the rudder, on his ship |
Marked by a rough journey, his face |
He has traveled all over the world |
He was born for the sea |
His eyes looked fearlessly into the storm |
For his homeland was the sea |
His home was the sea |
In the far distance under the light of the stars |
You saw him standing on the bridge |
His home was the sea |
His home was the sea |
In the far distance under the light of the stars |
If you saw him going down alone |
He was our captain |
(Verse 2) |
From the Cape of Storms to Tierra del Fuego |
The constellations of the south were known to him |
Where no one else has been |
His course always led there |
He remained loyal to his ship to the end |
(Verse 3) |
He is still standing with his hand on the oar |
Looking ahead, forever |
Salvaged from the tide |
Brought home deep |
Lonely he keeps his last anchor watch |
