Übers Meer English translation
von Rio Reiser

Day by day, the wind blows past us
Bringing the boat into the wind!
And a kiss and a day in May
Don’t be sad, my child
So many years and so many stars
Has it already been
Since we’re out there on the sea


Sunflowers and dandelions
I haven’t seen for a long time
Only the waves of the ocean
And so much has happened
How many skies and how many lands
Has it been, I wonder

Since we’re out there on the sea

Sing a song for the ocean
Sing a song about the sea
And I sing a song for you
Even if my heart feels heavy
So many days and so many storms
Must pass
Then we will see each other again
