Fernweh [English translation]

Distant world, I’m coming

I can see your lights

I've dreamt of it so often,

to see you from afar

I see the sky bearing stars

and feel the late summer light

I hear the wave caps beating

when the tide breaks the current

I turn the rudder to the direction north

there, where the stars always are

I let the wind carry the sails

even when the sun goes down

And I'm looking for you on the horizon

Distant world, I’m coming

I can see your lights

I've dreamt of it so often,

to see you from afar

Distant world, I'm coming

I can see your skies

I've dreamt of it so often,

to stand upon your shore

I've bent the world for you

to be very close to you

I’ve pulled the night into the light

and thought of you all the time

I turn the compass to the direction of hope

and the tide took me back too

I’ll fight until the wind turns

and trust my luck further

And I'm looking for you on the horizon

Distant world, I’m coming

I can see your lights

I've dreamt of it so often,

to see you from afar

Distant world, I'm coming

I can see your skies

I've dreamt of it so often,

to stand upon your shore

I see the sky and the stars

and look for you all the time

I keep looking in the distance

and imagine you are with me

Distant world, I’m coming

Distant world, I’m coming

Distant world, I’m coming

I can see your lights

I've dreamt of it so often

to see you from afar.
