Ein Schiff wird kommen [English translation]
Ein Schiff wird kommen [English translation]
I am a girl from Piraeus
And I love the harbour, the ships and the sea
I love the laughter of sailors
And kisses that taste like sea, like salt and tar
I'm attracted by the magic of Piraeus
So I stand evening after evening here on the quay
And wait for the foreign ships
From Hong Kong, Java, Chile and Shangai
A ship will come, it will bring me the one
Whom I love like nobody else, and who makes me happy
A ship will come and make my dream come true
And silence my longing, the longing of many nights
I am a girl from Piraeus
And if one day my heart will fade away
Then it must be one of the harbour
Only that way I wish a person for life
And then my children will stand
Then, evening after evening, just like me, on the quay
And they'll wait for the foreign ships
From Hong Kong, Java, Chile and Shangai
A ship will come, it will bring me the one
Whom I love like nobody else, and who makes me happy
A ship will come and make my dream come true
And silence my longing, the longing of many nights
