Rolling Home [English translation]

Ages ago

We travelled out over the sea

So far away from home we follow the wind

But every man on deck

Longs for home

For home with wife and child

There where our hearts are

We keep on rolling rolling rolling home

Storm along we’re rolling home

We keep on rolling rolling rolling home

To the place where we belong

Storm along we’re rolling home

We set a new course

Home is the goal

The longing is miles ahead of us

And needs a sailor

And also water under the keel

The soul urges us home

Always straight ahead

We keep on rolling rolling rolling home

Storm along we’re rolling home

We keep on rolling rolling rolling home

To the place where we belong

Storm along we’re rolling home

Take us home

With full sails, quicker than the flood

By day and also by night we sail

The wind gives power, hope drives us

Hooray, home is drawing nearer

We keep on rolling rolling rolling home

Storm along we’re rolling home

We keep on rolling rolling rolling home

To the place where we belong

Storm along we’re rolling home

Bring us home
