(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!
