Gott Muss Ein Seemann Sein Lyrics in English Santiano

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Gott Muss Ein Seemann Sein by Santiano from German to English.
Verse 1
Look around, this world is ours
Let go of fear and worries here
You're free, free, free, free
Every voyage is like a new day
Put your hand in the cool waves
And you feel a power so great
Here we're free, free, free, free
Sky-wide into infinity
Chorus 1
God must be a sailor
Nobody gets lost
Nobody gets lost
He never leaves the crew alone
God must be a sailor
God must be a sailor
Nobody gets lost
Nobody gets lost
The devil never catches us
God must be a sailor
Verse 2
Let's head out with the first rays
Let's go when the west wind roars
We're free, free, free, free straight ahead
Out into the whole world
Where the waves reach for the sky
In the distance we're at home
'Cause we're free, free, free, free sky-wide
Into infinity
Chorus 2
God must be a sailor
Nobody gets lost
Nobody gets lost
He never leaves the crew alone
God must be a sailor
God must be a sailor
Nobody gets lost
Nobody gets lost
The devil never catches us
God must be a sailor
Bridge
God must be a sailor
Nobody gets lost
Nobody gets lost
He never leaves the crew alone
Chorus 3
God must be a sailor
Nobody gets lost
Nobody gets lost
He never leaves the crew alone
God must be a sailor
God must be a sailor
Nobody gets lost
Nobody gets lost
The devil never catches us
God must be a sailor

SONG MEANING

Picture yourself standing on the deck of a sturdy ship, salt spray on your face and endless blue stretching to the horizon. Gott Muss Ein Seemann Sein is Santiano’s rousing call to cast off fear, worries, and restraints, celebrating the exhilarating feeling of being free, free, free upon the open sea. Each voyage is painted as a brand-new day where cool waters pulse with an almost mystical power, inviting us to reach out, feel alive, and chase the limitless sky.

At the heart of the song is the stirring refrain “God must be a sailor.” Here, the ocean becomes a grand metaphor for faith and togetherness: a divine captain guides the crew so that “Keiner geht verloren”—no one is ever left behind—and the devil never catches up. This anthem blends maritime adventure with spiritual reassurance, reminding listeners that with unity, courage, and the wind at our backs, the entire world lies open before us.
