Die Sehnsucht ist mein Steuermann [English translation]

Whatever might expect me out there

It moves even further away each and every new day

I chase the dreams

My heart, it weighs so heavy

No matter where my home may be

Something remains there which I miss

It weighs on me like a curse

Never to find what I'm searching for

Desire is my navigator1

It pulls me away and pushes me onward

And when I'm gone, I want to go home

It never leaves me alone

Chased by solitude

No sea too deep

No path too long

And I won't arrive anyway

Desire is my navigator

The stars in the sky

Are like companions on the path

The evening breeze carries me away

With course set for the horizon

The yonder2 sings it's old song

Which attracts me magically

So I strive forever

Only for the infinity

Desire is my navigator

It pulls me away and pushes me onward

And when I'm gone, I want to go home

It never leaves me alone

Chased by solitude

No sea too deep

No path too long

And I won't arrive anyway

Desire is my navigator

So many miles I have

Sailed through waves, wind and storm

A wanderer in the darkness

The urge to travel escorted me

The most beautiful place on my journey

Is the one where I have never been

So I strive forever

In vain for the eternity

Desire is my navigator

It pulls me away and pushes me onward

And when I'm gone, I want to go home

It never leaves me alone

Chased by solitude

No sea too deep

No path too long

And I won't arrive anyway

Desire is my navigator

Desire is my navigator
