Ein Schiff wird kommen [English translation]

I am a girl from Piraeus

And I love the harbour, the ships and the sea

I love the sailors' laughter

I love every kiss that tastes like salt and tar

Like all the girls of Piraeus

I stand by the dock night after night

Waiting for the foreign ships

From Hong Kong, from Java, from Chile and Shanghai

There will be a ship coming that brings me the one

I love more than anyone else and who makes me happy

There will be a ship coming that fulfills my dreams

And that sates my desire, my desire of so many nights

Now you're here

And I hold you in my arms

Let me have one more drag off your cigarette

Take a look from our window,

See the harbour with all its colorful lights

In that bar over there where music is drifting out

I sat every night these past months,

Danced with unknown sailors,

And thought of one thing only:

There will be a ship coming that brings me the one

I love more than anyone else and who makes me happy

There will be a ship coming that fulfills my dreams

And that sates my desire, my desire of so many nights
