Lyrics & translation
Verse
The sand is gone.
Der Sand ist weg.
The salt moves in.
Das Salz zieht ein.
We stand alone.
Wir stehen allein.
Where he has been.
Wo er mal war.
Blue waves rise up.
Blaue Wellen steigen.
The grass is drowned.
Das Gras ertrinkt.
We call his name.
Wir rufen ihn.
Without a sound.
Ohne ein Wort.
Chorus
Wait for the boat.
Wartet auf das Boot.
Keep us afloat.
Haltet uns über Wasser.
Where did he go?
Wohin ist er gegangen?
We need to know.
Wir müssen es wissen.
Verse
Two pairs of eyes.
Zwei Paare Augen.
Scan every swell.
Scannen jede Dünung.
A secret kept.
Ein Geheimnis bewahrt.
The deep won’t tell.
Die Tiefe schweigt.
Cold wind pulls hard.
Kalter Wind zieht stark.
On sister’s hand.
An Schwesterchens Hand.
No wood in sight.
Kein Holz in Sicht.
No solid land.
Kein festes Land.
Chorus
Wait for the boat.
Wartet auf das Boot.
Keep us afloat.
Haltet uns über Wasser.
Where did he go?
Wohin ist er gegangen?
We need to know.
Wir müssen es wissen.
Bridge
The island sleeps.
Die Insel schläft.
With nowhere to hide.
Ohne Versteck.
Chorus
Wait for the boat.
Wartet auf das Boot.
Keep us afloat.
Haltet uns über Wasser.
Where did he go?
Wohin ist er gegangen?
We need to know.
Wir müssen es wissen.
