Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Komm mit uns auf große Fahrt)
Ein jeder für den andern sind Brüder Mann für Mann
(Komm mit uns auf große Fahrt)
Denn an Bord sind alle gleich egal ob arm ob reich
Und Freiheit ist und Freiheit ist der Lohn
Wir sind frei
Wir sind frei
Wir sind wer wir sind
Wir sind stolz ohne scheu
Unzertrennlich und treu
Ja wir sind frei
Wie der Wind
Ohne Grenzen ohne Mauern ans Ende dieser Welt
(Komm mit uns auf große Fahrt)
Kein Sturm zerstört die Bande die uns zusammen hält
(Komm mit uns auf große Fahrt)
Wirst du heut' mit uns gehen dann wirst du es verstehen
Denn Freiheit ist und Freiheit ist dein Lohn
Wir sind frei
Frei wie der Wind
Wir sind frei

The lyrics of "Frei wie der Wind" by Santiano revolve around the idea of freedom and unity among the pirate crew as they set out on a high-sea adventure. The first two lines establish the bond of the pirates, highlighting their commitment to sticking together no matter what. They invite others to join them, promising to share the same adventurous journey towards freedom. The following lines reiterate the idea of brotherhood, emphasizing that everyone on board is equal, regardless of their social status, and that freedom is the ultimate reward for their struggles.
The chorus is the main focus of the song, where the pirates repeatedly declare their freedom, likening themselves to the wind, which is free to move anywhere it wants. The sense of pride and loyalty they experience is also noticeable, as they pledge to always stand together and never be separated. The third stanza reinforces the idea that the pirates' sense of belonging continues to be boundless. They are not held back by any boundaries, and their spirits cannot be broken by any obstacles. Finally, the last stanza is a repetition of the chorus, followed by an invitation for those present to join in the pirate lifestyle and feel the true meaning of freedom.
Overall, "Frei wie der Wind" serves as a powerful and inspiring tribute to the meaning of unity, freedom and adventure, eloquently expressing the aspirations of the pirate lifestyle.

We buccaneers of the seas are always stuck together
(Come with us on a big trip)
Each one for the other are brothers man by man

On board, everyone does not care whether poor or rich
And freedom is and freedom is the reward

My korsarze zawsze stoimy razem
(Chodz z nami w podroz)
Dla wszystkich innych ludzi jestesmy bracmi
(Chodz z nami w podroz)
Na pokladzie wszyscy jestesmy rowni,nie ma znaczenia biedny czy bogaty
I wolnosc jest i wolnosc jest nagroda
Jestesmy wolni
Wolni jak wiatr
Jestesmy wolni
Jestesmy kim jestesmy
Jestesmy dumni bez wstydu
Nierozlaczni i wierni
Jak wiatr
Bez granic bez murow do konca tego swiata
(Chodz z nami w podroz)
Zadna burza nie zniszczy naszej bandy trzymamy sie razem
(Chodz z nami w podroz)
Pojdziesz dzis z nami wtedy zrozumiesz
Ze wolnosc jest wolnosc jest nagroda
