Original text with translation
Santiano
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
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
