Anker [English translation]

(Verse 1)

Pull the rod against the sea

It wriggles, it's really windy

The wave hits against the wood

It breaks, it doesn't break its pride

Never seen the harbour

Never missed the harbour

Who can prove it? I don't think the harbour exists

Never trusted the northern lights

The compass doesn't show the way home

Burning bodies by day, groaning colkd by night

And stay gladly, stay here

(Chorus)

I stay a young child to know:

We are unsinkable, captain!

And until my sun goes down, I'll stay a child

I'll stay gladly, stay here

(Verse 2)

Don't say a word, coxswain

What do you know where I can end?

The sea seems to understand easily

That's the mirror we drive circles on

I can't see the land

I can't hear the land

The sailors around me work diligently on matches

I bathed in the sun during storms

Was I able to fly once?

Like the old Pan I've already forgotten where the other children are

(Chorus)

I stay a young child to know:

We are unsinkable, captain!

And until my sun goes down, I'll stay a child

I'll stay gladly, stay here

(Outro)

Pull the anchor out of the swamp!

It already lies on the ground since all eternity

Listen, the people already fell silent

Pull the anchor out of the swamp!
