Seine Heimat War Die See Lyrics in English by Santiano
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Seine Heimat War Die See by Santiano from German to English.
Die Hand am Ruder
The hand on the helm
Auf seinem Schiff
On his ship
Von rauer Fahrt gezeichnet, sein Angesicht
Marked by rough voyages, his face
Alle Welt hat er befahren
He has sailed all over the world
Für das Meer war er gebor'n
He was born for the sea
Seine Augen blickten furchtlos in den Sturm
His eyes fearlessly gazed into the storm
Denn seine Heimat war die See
Because his home was the sea
Seine Heimat war die See
His home was the sea
In der weiten Ferne unterm Licht
In the vast distance under the light
Der Sterne sah man ihn auf der Brücke stehen
Of the stars, he was seen standing on the bridge
Seine Heimat war die See
His home was the sea
Seine Heimat war die See
His home was the sea
In der weiten Ferne unterm Licht der Sterne
In the vast distance under the light of the stars
Sah man ihn einsam untergehen
He was seen lonely sinking
Er war unser Kapitän
He was our captain
Vom Kap der Stürme
From the Cape of Storms
Bis Feuerland
To Tierra del Fuego
Des Südens Sternenbilder waren ihm bekannt
The constellations of the South were familiar to him
Dort wo keiner sonst gewesen
Where no one else had been
Dahin führte stets sein Kurs
There his course always led
Deinem Schiff hielt er die Treue bis zum Schluss
He remained loyal to your ship until the end
Denn seine Heimat war die See
Because his home was the sea
Seine Heimat war die See
His home was the sea
In der weiten Ferne unterm Licht der Sterne
In the vast distance under the light of the stars
Sah man ihn auf der Brücke stehen
He was seen standing on the bridge
Seine Heimat war die See
His home was the sea
Seine Heimat war die See
His home was the sea
In der weiten Ferne unterm Licht der Sterne
In the vast distance under the light of the stars
Sah man ihn einsam untergehen
He was seen lonely sinking
Er war unser Kapitän
He was our captain
Die Hand am Ruder
The hand on the helm
Steht er noch heut
He still stands today
Den Blick nach vorn gerichtet, in Ewigkeit
With his gaze forward, for eternity
Vom Gezeitenstrom geborgen
Rescued by the tidal stream
In die Tiefe heimgebracht
Brought home to the depths
Hält er einsam seine letzte Ankerwacht
He keeps his lonely final anchor watch
Denn seine Heimat war die See
Because his home was the sea
Seine Heimat war die See
His home was the sea
In der weiten Ferne unterm Licht der Sterne
In the vast distance under the light of the stars
Sah man ihn auf der Brücke stehen
He was seen standing on the bridge
Seine Heimat war die See
His home was the sea
Seine Heimat war die See
His home was the sea
In der weiten Ferne unterm Licht der Sterne
In the vast distance under the light of the stars
Sah man ihn einsam untergehen
He was seen lonely sinking
Er war unser Kapitän
He was our captain
