500 Meilen [English translation]

The view is clear at the start of day,

We are on course in favored wind,

You are far, so far, but yet near me.

Before the bow I see nothing but sea,

But worry you not, as I am all so fine,

Just yearning for you to be with you.

You are there to keep me warm,

You are there by me in my arm,

You are there to quicken me up,

But parting alas was so very hard.

I am away one, two, three, four,

Five hundred miles away at sea.

Bay after bay and port after port

I Stay for one night to be off again.

You are there to keep me warm,

You are there by me in my arm,

You are there to quicken me up,

But parting alas was so very hard,

For, in every cloud I see your face.

You are there to keep me warm,

You are there by me in my arm,

You are there to quicken me up,

But parting alas was so very hard.

I am away one, two, three, four,

Five hundred miles away at sea.

You are there to keep me warm,

You are there by me in my arm,

You are there to quicken me up,

But parting alas was so very hard

We are so free on the open seas.

But parting alas was so very hard.

Miles five hundred part you and me.

Miles five hundred part you and me.

Miles five hundred part you and me.
