Santiano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vor ewig langer Zeit fuhren wir aufs Meer hinaus
So fern der Heimat folgten wir dem Wind
Doch jeder Mann an Deck sehnt sich zurück nach Haus
Nach Haus zu Frau und Kind
(Dort wo unsere Herzen sind)
Storm along we're rolling home
We keep on rolling, rolling, rolling home
To the place where we belong
Storm along we're rolling home
Wir setzen neuen Kurs, die Heimat ist das Ziel
Die Sehnsucht ist uns meilenweit voraus
Und braucht ein Seemann auch das Wasser unterm Kiel
Die Seele drängt nach Haus
Immer weiter geradeaus
We keep on rolling, rolling, rolling home
Storm along we're rolling home
We keep on rolling, rolling, rolling home
To the place where we belong
Storm along we're rolling home
Bring' uns nach Haus
Mit vollen Segeln schneller als die Flut voran
Bei Tag und auch bei Nacht wir machen Fahrt
Die Winde geben Kraft die Hoffnung treibt uns an
Horray, die Heimat naht
We keep on rolling rolling, rolling home
Storm along we're rolling home
We keep on rolling, rolling, rolling home
To the place where we belong
We keep on rolling, rolling, rolling home
Storm along we're rolling home
We keep on rolling, rolling, rolling home
To the place where we belong
Storm along we're rolling home
(Bring uns nach Haus')
The song "Rolling Home" by Santiano is a powerful ode to the sailors and seafarers who journeyed far from their homes and loved ones, braving the unpredictable seas and harsh conditions in search of adventure and fortune. The lyrics describe the deep longing felt by sailors to return to the safety and comfort of their homes, to be reunited with their families and loved ones. The song speaks of the unrelenting spirit and perseverance of these sailors as they navigate their ships through the stormy seas, always keeping in mind their ultimate destination - home.
The opening lines of the song take the listener back in time, to a distant past, where sailors set out to sea to discover new lands and seek their fortunes. The next verse speaks of their yearning to return home, to the familiarity of their families, and to be surrounded by the warmth and love of their homes. The chorus is a rousing call to the sailors to keep on rolling, to fight the storm and the adversity, and to make their way back home, to the place where they truly belong.
The final verse speaks of the sailors' determination to reach their destination, to keep pushing through the challenges that they face, and to stay focused on the goal of returning to their families. The song ends with a poignant plea - "Bring us home" - a plea that has echoed through the ages, from the time of the great seafarers of old to the modern-day sailors and travelers, all of whom have sought the comforts and security of their homes.

Vor ewig langer Zeit fuhren wir aufs Meer hinaus
Long ago, we set sail on the sea
So fern der Heimat folgten wir dem Wind

Doch jeder Mann an Deck sehnt sich zurück nach Haus
But every man onboard longs to return home
Nach Haus zu Frau und Kind (Dort wo unsere Herzen sind)
To their family and loved ones, where their hearts lie
Wir setzen neuen Kurs, die Heimat ist das Ziel

Die Seele drängt nach Haus, immer weiter geradeaus
The soul longs for home, straight ahead we go
Mit vollen Segeln schneller als die Flut voran
With full sails, faster than the tide
Bei Tag und auch bei Nacht wir machen Fahrt
Day and night, we make our way
