Die Sehnsucht ist mein Steuermann English translation
von Santiano

Whatever may be waiting out there
Is getting more and more distant with each passing day
I chase my dreams
My heart, it weighs so heavy
No matter where my home is
There's something that I miss
It's like a curse on me
Never to find what I'm looking for

Desire is my helmsman
It pulls me away and drives me on
And when I'm gone I want to go home
It never leaves me alone
Driven by loneliness
No sea too deep
No road too far
And yet I never arrive
Desire is my helmsman


The stars that stand in the sky
Are like companions on the way
The evening wind carries me away
With a course to the horizon
The distance sings its old song
That draws me magically to her
So I strive for all time
To infinity alone

Desire is my helmsman
It pulls me away and drives me on
And when I'm gone, I want to go home
It never leaves me alone
Driven by loneliness
No sea too deep
No road too far
And yet I never arrive
Desire is my helmsman

So many miles have I travelled
Perils of waves, wind and storm
A wanderer in the darkness
Wanderlust is my guide
The most beautiful place on my journey
Is the place I've never been
So I strive for all time
In vain for eternity


Desire is my helmsman
It pulls me away and drives me on
And when I'm gone, I want to go home
It never leaves me alone
Driven by loneliness
No sea too deep
No road too far
And yet I never arrive
Desire is my helmsman

Desire is my helmsman
