Der Wind Ruft Meinen Namen Lyrics in English Santiano

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Der Wind Ruft Meinen Namen by Santiano from German to English.
I know goodbye hurts you
But I have to leave again
I'm always on the move
I never stay in one place
'Cause I hear the wind I must follow
We have one last kiss
Part of me always stays
Here with me
Part of me always stays
Here with you
The longing is huge
It pulls me out to sea
The longing is huge
Even though goodbye's hard
Far into the distance
My girl, I have to go
The wind calls my name
There's no reunion
I must go
I must go
I must go
Maybe as soon as tomorrow
A new ship will dock here
And in the next harbor
Another girl will cry
Don't watch me anymore
When I have to leave
We have one last kiss
Part of me always stays
Here with you
Part of me always stays
Here with you
The longing is huge
It pulls me out to sea
The longing is huge
Even though goodbye's hard
Far into the distance
My girl, I have to go
The wind calls my name
There's no reunion
I must go
I must go
I must go

SONG MEANING

Feel the salt on your lips and the pull of distant horizons! In “Der Wind Ruft Meinen Namen,” Santiano lets us step into the boots of a restless sailor who can never stay anchored for long. Though his heart aches to leave the one he loves, the wind keeps whispering his name, urging him back to the wide-open sea. Every port brings a tender hello and a painful goodbye, but adventure—and the promise of something just beyond the horizon—proves too strong to resist.

The song balances romance and wanderlust: a final kiss, a vow that “a part of me will always stay with you,” then the inevitable sound of ropes unfastening as the ship departs. Waves of longing crash against an unquenchable urge for freedom, reminding us that some spirits are tied more tightly to the tide than to any harbor. With pounding drums and soaring voices, Santiano captures the bittersweet truth that following your calling can cost you the very warmth you crave, yet still feel utterly worth it.
