Hafen der Stille [English translation]

Heavily the waves break against the shore

The brittle stone defies them

I stand allone in the rain

No ship for months I spot

Seagulls on the horizon, they're calling

Full of longing and pain, it seems to me

By gaze dreamily trails off far away

Like thunder and storm it sounds to my ears

Fled from the confusions of cities

The worries of life lose their meaning

At the harbour long forgotten

The hours trickle away like the sand

The pebbles at the old shore

Ground by wind and salty sea

Seem like giant pearls

Here in my hand they weigh heavy

Sink in foamy crests

A vortex so strong, it drags them down

They lie forever forgotten

At the bottom of the sea in their eternal grave

Fled from the confusions of cities

The worries of life lose their meaning

At the harbour long forgotten

The hours trickle away like the sand

Often I make my rounds

At the loney beach, where once ships sailed

The people have long since gone

Their traces nowhere to be seen

Melancholy I go home

I turn around, I miss the sand

At the hearth I while my hours

Then I imagine I'm still at the beach

Fled from the confusions of cities

The worries of life lose their meaning

At the harbour long forgotten

The hours trickle away like the sand
