Seine Heimat war die See - Live / Waldbühne Berlin / 2016

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

Vom Kap der Stürme bis Feuerland
Des Südens Sternenbilder war'n ihm bekannt
Dort wo keiner sonst gewesen
Dahin führte stehts sein Kurs
Seinem Schiff hielt er die Treue bis zum Schluss

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

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

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

His Homeland Was the Sea - Live / Waldbühne Berlin / 2016

His hand at the helm, upon his ship
His face marked by voyages taken
He sailed all the world over
For the sea, he was born
His eyes looked fearlessly into the storm

For his homeland was the sea
His homeland was the sea
In the distance far away under the light of the stars
He was seen standing on the bridge
His homeland was the sea
His homeland was the sea
In the distance far away under the light of the stars
He was seen going down alone
He was our captain

From the Cape of Storms to Tierra del Fuego
He knew the constellations of the southern stars
Where no one else had ever been
That's where his course always led
He stayed true to his ship until the end

For his homeland was the sea
His homeland was the sea
In the distance far away under the light of the stars
He was seen standing on the bridge
His homeland was the sea
His homeland was the sea
In the distance far away under the light of the stars
He was seen going down alone
He was our captain

His hand at the helm, he still stands today
His gaze fixed forward, into eternity
Sheltered by the tidal stream
Brought home to the depths
He keeps his last anchor watch alone

For his homeland was the sea
His homeland was the sea
In the distance far away under the light of the stars
He was seen standing on the bridge
His homeland was the sea
His homeland was the sea
In the distance far away under the light of the stars
He was seen going down alone
He was our captain
