Far away on a coastal land He's sitting on the shore Watching the flood coming in and out While it rains Captain, tell us if we can leave The port of the lost souls The ocean seems so endless and so pure Unknown seas Fährmann, Fährmann Führ uns ins weiße Licht Schenk uns Glauben Neue Zuversicht Fährmann, Fährmann Geleite uns über das schwarze Meer An ein neues Ufer Zur Gegenwehr Sometimes we need someone to understand To ferry across to sense To recognize when time has come to leave The past We are sailing into the light Of a new generation To the end of the horizon where a beacon shines Just for us Departing from the black port of isolation
