Lyrics
Die Hand am Ruder, auf seinem Schiff
Von rauer Fahrt gezeichnet, sein Angesicht
Alle Welt hat er befahren
FŸr das Meer war er geboren
Seine Augen blickten furchtlos in den Sturm
Denn seine Heimat war die See
Seine Heimat war die See
In der weiten Ferne unterm Licht der Sterne
Sah man ihn auf der BrŸcke stehen
Seine Heimat war die See
Seine Heimat war die See
In der weiten Ferne unterm Licht der Sterne
Sah man ihn einsam untergehen
Er war unser KapitŠn
Vom Kap der StŸrme bis Feuerland
Des SŸdens Sternenbilder waren ihm bekannt
Dort wo keiner sonst gewesen
Dahin fŸhrte stets sein Kurs
Seinem Schiff hielt er die Treue bis zum Schluss
Denn seine Heimat war die See
Seine Heimat war die See
In der weiten Ferne unterm Licht der Sterne
Sah man ihn auf der BrŸcke stehen
Seine Heimat war die See
Seine Heimat war die See
In der weiten Ferne unterm Licht der Sterne
Sah man ihn einsam untergehen
Er war unser KapitŠn
Die Hand am Ruder, steht er noch heut
Den Blick nach vorn gerichtet, in Ewigkeit
Vom Gezeitenstrom geborgen
In die Tiefe heimgebracht
HŠlt er einsam seine letzte Ankerwacht
Denn seine Heimat war die See
Seine Heimat war die See
In der weiten Ferne unterm Licht der Sterne
Sah man ihn auf der BrŸcke stehen
Seine Heimat war die See
Seine Heimat war die See
In der weiten Ferne unterm Licht der Sterne
Sah man ihn einsam untergehen
Er war unser KapitŠn
Lyrics translation
The Hand on the rudder on his ship
Drawn by rough ride, his face
He has sailed all over the world
For the sea he was born
His eyes looked fearlessly into the storm
Because his home was the sea
His home was the sea
In the far distance under the light of the stars
He was seen standing on the bridge
His home was the sea
His home was the sea
In the far distance under the light of the stars
Saw him perish alone
He was our captain
From the Cape of storms to Tierra del Fuego
The sun's constellations were known to him
Where no one else has been
His course always led
He remained faithful to his ship until the end
Because his home was the sea
His home was the sea
In the far distance under the light of the stars
He was seen standing on the bridge
His home was the sea
His home was the sea
In the far distance under the light of the stars
Saw him perish alone
He was our captain
The hand on the rudder, he still stands today
Looking forward, in eternity
Recovered from the tidal current
Brought home into the depths
Lonely he keeps his last anchor watch
Because his home was the sea
His home was the sea
In the far distance under the light of the stars
He was seen standing on the bridge
His home was the sea
His home was the sea
In the far distance under the light of the stars
Saw him perish alone
He was our captain
