Weit übers Meer
Santiano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Der Mond verhüllt
Das Meer gefroren
Tief Schwarze Nacht
Seit langer Zeit
Auf See Verloren
Brich deinen Fluch
Was auch passiert
Ich Warte hier
Weit übers Meer
Hör ich dein Lied
In Dunkelheit
Weit übers Meer
Wann kommt der Tag
Der uns befreit
Jahre vergehen
Bis wir uns sehen
Der Wind so schwach
Das Meer so weit
Weit übers Meer
Hör ich dein Lied
In Dunkelheit
Weit übers Meer
Wann kommt der Tag
Der uns befreit
Ewig auf See
Jahre vergehen
Bis wir uns sehen
Das Meer so weit
The lyrics to Santiano's "Weit übers Meer" convey a strong sense of longing and desperation as the singer is lost at sea on a dark, cold night. The opening lines paint a picture of a desolate and unforgiving ocean that is shrouded in darkness. The moon is hidden behind clouds, making it even harder to navigate. The use of the word "gefroren" (frozen) also adds to the feeling of isolation and danger.
The following lines reveal that the singer has been lost at sea for quite some time, leaving him in a state of despair. He is calling out for help, asking for someone to break their curse and save him from his fate. Despite the hopelessness of his situation, the singer remains anchored to the idea that there is someone out there who will hear his call and come to his rescue.
The chorus of the song reinforces the central theme of separation and the overwhelming distance that lies between the singer and the person he longs to be with. The repetition of the phrase "weit übers Meer" (far across the sea) emphasizes the enormity of the ocean that separates the two people. Despite the passage of years, the singer still holds out hope that he will one day be reunited with his loved one.

Das Lied wurde gestern bei der Seebestattung von meinem Papa gespielt. Die Emotionen kommen wieder hoch, so ein schönes Lied und so passend in Kombi mit der letzten Fahrt von Santiano war es ein "schöner" Abschied von meinem viel zu früh verstorbenen Papa
