Komm heim [English translation]

It can start off once the ark is full

If it isn't full there's not much time to pull

You can grant any wish in this narrow frame

Remain on your spot, always ready to take aim

You can holler at dragons, firewalls you can stem

So join us with the watchmen on the steeples and dams

[Chorus:]

Come home

New settler or comrade returning

Come home

Fisher of men and multplicator of loaves

Come home

To where the streets shout your name in droves

Come home

To the love for which your heart is still burning

There's tidying and sweeping at the entrance of the gates

Behind the doors there's grouping up and brustling debates

A wondrous thing has happened to every one of our mates

A spreading thrill for building family awaits

This river's like a vein, like a wave and like a way

Our ridges carry bridges from the roads down to the quay

[Chorus]

Come home, little brother, take your sister by the hand

Trail the river, take the helms, then once you've reached us, set on land

Your feet they carry treasures which neither you nor we could fathom

I'm sending my regards from this place and want to miss you no longer
