Das Seemannsgrab [English translation]

On the first day, the morning was dawning, the spark took the nets in

It was bittercold, the wind strong, the fog all around the boat

He still dreams of some warm place, when he hears his favorite voice:

"Are you freezing? You know, nobody freezes, when he lingers in my realm"

How astonished the fisherman is when he sees a girl on the close-by cliffs

Beautiful to look at, flowing hair, full lips

But - oh no - the fisherman shivers when he looks at her bottom

Not legs but a fish's body does he see and flees to the haven of his homeland

Refrain:

One can hear stories, myths, sagas, her golden hair angelical

If only I knew where I'd dare to listen to her singing

For a kiss from her lips I'd give everything I have

My belongings and my soul

On the second day, the same place, the whole night he thought of her

The beauty on the cliffs yesterday has taken away his sleep

His eyes are still searching when singings soften his heart

"In my realm, at the bottom of the sea, pain and sorrow will not reach you"

On the third day, the same place, the whole night he kept watch

Can't stop thinking of the sweet sounds, a deep longing has been kindled

He leans far over the railing to see this woman

There she is, really close to him, and tries to reach him with her hands

[Refrain] (2x)

"So come to me", she lures. And he reaches for her, gently takes her hand

She softly pulls and he lets himself slip over the boat's edge

She embraces him, kisses him deeply, he willingly lets it happen

She takes him with her, deeper and deeper, and he was never seen again
