Santiano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heave away, straight ahead, Santiano
The tears are as salty and deep as the sea
But my sailors heart is keen to go
As far the wind in our sails may blow
Heave away, straight ahead, Santiano
Bribe the day and the heavens know
Hoist every bit of sail, bring us to full speed
Heave away, straight ahead, Santiano
Who knows what our fate may be?
But the whole wide world is ours to see
As far the wind in our sails may blow
Heave away, straight ahead, Santiano
Bribe the day and the heavens know
We'll be kings wherever we may go
I'm fine without a roof and a house of stone
Heave away, straight ahead, Santiano
Home for me is the sea we roam
And the roof of stars is mine alone (hey)
As far the wind in our sails may blow
Heave away, straight ahead, Santiano
Bribe the day and the heavens know
We'll be kings wherever we may go
Farewell now my love, send me off with a kiss
Heave away, straight ahead, Santiano
The tears are as salty and deep as the sea
But my sailors heart is keen to go
As far the wind in our sails may blow
Heave away, straight ahead, Santiano
Bribe the day and the heavens know
We'll be kings wherever we may go
As far the wind in our sails may blow
Heave away, straight ahead, Santiano (Santiano)
Bribe the day and the heavens know
We'll be kings wherever we may go

The sailor's love is bittersweet as he knows that he may never return, but his spirit remains strong and he is looking forward to the journey ahead.
The song reflects the sense of adventure and freedom that is associated with life at sea. The sailor feels at home on the open waters, where he can chart his own course and explore the world without constraints.

Farewell now my love, send me off with a kiss
Saying goodbye to my lover, wishing me well with a kiss
Heave away, straight ahead, Santiano
Setting sail with determination, heading straight for our destination
The tears are as salty and deep as the sea
Emotions are heavy and deep, like the sea we are traveling on
But my sailors heart is keen to go
Despite the sadness, my heart is eager to begin this journey
As far the wind in our sails may blow
Our journey will take us as far as our sails can carry us
Bribe the day and the heavens know
We control our destiny and will take every opportunity that comes our way
We'll be kings wherever we may go
Our journey will take us to new lands where we will rule like kings
Hoist every bit of sail, bring us to full speed
Set sail to catch every bit of wind and go as fast as possible
Who knows what our fate may be?
Our destiny is uncertain and unknown
But the whole wide world is ours to see
We have the opportunity to see the entire world on this journey
I'm fine without a roof and a house of stone
I am content without a permanent home in the traditional sense
Home for me is the sea we roam
The ocean feels like home to me as a sailor
And the roof of stars is mine alone (hey)
I find comfort under the stars at night

Saying goodbye is difficult
Say goodbye to my girl
Cast off
(full speed Santiano)
The tears are salty and deep like the sea
But my sailor's heart burns brightly
As far as the sea and the wind carry us
sail up
Full speed ahead Santiano
Straight ahead when the sea calls us
Let's drive out into the sunset
Sails up and downwind
Cast off
(Full speed Santiano)
Do you see where the moon sets?
Let's be before the day begins
As far as the sea and the wind carry us
sail up
Full speed ahead Santiano
Straight ahead when the sea calls us
Let's drive out into the sunset
I don't need a home
And I don't need money
Cast off
(Full speed Santiano)
Our castle is the whole world
Our ceiling is the canopy of heaven
As far as the sea and the wind carry us
sail up
Full speed ahead Santiano
Straight ahead when the sea calls us
Let's drive out into the sunset
It's hard to say goodbye my girl
Cast off
(Full speed Santiano)
The tears are salty
And deep as the sea
But my sailor's heart is on fire
As far as the sea and the wind carry us
sail up
Full speed ahead Santiano
Straight ahead when the sea calls us
Let's drive out into the sunset
As far as the sea and the wind carry us
sail up
Full speed ahead Santiano
Straight ahead when the sea calls us
Let's drive out into the sunset
Der Abschied fällt schwer
Sag mein Mädchen ade
Leinen los
(volle Fahrt Santiano)
Die Tränen sind salzig und tief wie das Meer
Doch mein Seemansherz brennt lichterloh
Soweit die See und der Wind uns trägt
Segel hoch
Volle Fahrt Santiano
Geradeaus wenn das Meer uns ruft
Fahren wir raus hinein ins Abendrot
Die Segel aufgespannt und vor dem Wind
Leinen los
(Volle Fahrt Santiano)
Siehst Du dort wo der Mond versinkt
Wollen wir sein bevor der Tag beginnt
Soweit die See und der Wind uns trägt
Segel hoch
Volle Fahrt Santiano
Geradeaus wenn das Meer uns ruft
Fahren wir raus hinein ins Abendrot
Ich brauche keine zuhaus
Und ich brauch kein Geld
Leinen los
(Volle Fahrt Santiano)
Unser Schloss ist die ganze Welt
Unsere Decke ist das Himmelszelt
Soweit die See und der Wind uns trägt
Segel hoch
Volle Fahrt Santiano
Geradeaus wenn das Meer uns ruft
Fahren wir raus hinein ins Abendrot
Der Abschied fällt schwer sag mein Mädchen ade
Leinen los
(Volle Fahrt Santiano)
Die Tränen sind salzig
Und tief wie das Meer
Doch mein Seemannsherz brennt Lichterloh
Soweit die See und der Wind uns trägt
Segel hoch
Volle Fahrt Santiano
Geradeaus wenn das Meer uns ruft
Fahren wir raus hinein ins Abendrot
Soweit die See und der Wind uns trägt
Segel hoch
Volle Fahrt Santiano
Geradeaus wenn das Meer uns ruft
Fahren wir raus hinein ins Abendrot

Von dem was ich raus gehört habe (ohne Garantie) / from what I've heard (without guarantee):
Farewell now my loves,
send me off with a kiss
Either way
Straight ahead, Santiano
The tears are as salty and deep as the sea
But my sailor's heart is keen to go
As far the wind in our sails may blow
Either way
Straight ahead, Santiano
Bright(?) the day, and the heavens know
We'll be kings wherever we may go
Hoist every bit of sail,
bring us to full speed
Either way
Straight ahead, Santiano
Who knows what our fate may be
But the whole wide world is ours to see
As far the wind in our sails may blow
Either way
Straight ahead, Santiano
Bright(?) the day, and the heavens know
We'll be kings wherever we may go
I'm fine without a roof,
and a house of stone
Either way
Straight ahead, Santiano
Home for me is the sea we row
And the roof, our stars, is mine alone
As far the wind in our sails may blow
Either way
Straight ahead, Santiano
Bright(?) the day, and the heavens know
We'll be kings wherever we may go
Farewell now my loves,
send me off with a kiss
Either way
Straight ahead, Santiano
The tears are as salty and deep as the sea
But my sailor's heart is keen to go
As far the wind in our sails may blow
Either way
Straight ahead, Santiano
Bright(?) the day, and the heavens know
We'll be kings wherever we may go
As far the wind in our sails may blow
Either way
Straight ahead, Santiano
Bright(?) the day, and the heavens know
We'll be kings wherever we may go
