S.O.S [English translation]

Bound in snow and frozen over

The transmission mast stands in ice

Razor sharp winds are blowing

And the compass spins in circles

The polar night does not want to end

Every sense of time is gone

Because the time froze into crystals

And burried this place

With the pack ice drifting slowly away

Our one last hope

Our radio operator chants in prayer this one word:

S.O.S! Who's going to save our souls?

S.O.S! Who'll show the way into the light? S.O.S!

Abandoned and lost

Stands a transmission mast in ice

And we press our ears on iron

Quiet, be real quiet now...

Because we're awaiting a whisper

For a sign of life from the world

Wasn't there a quiet crackle?

Or was it just falling snow?

With the pack ice drifting slowly away

Our one last hope

Our radio operator chants in prayer this one word:

S.O.S! Who's going to save our souls?

S.O.S! Who'll show the way into the light? S.O.S!

Our lips are blue and chapped

Freezing firmly to cold steel

And we suffer under the Northern light

Until very first sunbeam

With the pack ice drifting slowly away

Our one last hope

Our radio operator chants in prayer this one word:

S.O.S! Who's going to save our souls?

S.O.S! Who'll show the way into the light? S.O.S!

Is there anybody to break the silence?
