Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
In the song "Santiano" by Santiano, the singer bids farewell to his loved ones to embark on a journey at sea. He acknowledges the sadness of leaving but is full of excitement and passion for a life at sea. He speaks of the vastness of the sea and the freedom it brings, with no need for material possessions or a permanent home. The chorus repeats the idea of following the call of the sea, with the sails high and the ship moving forward. The song paints a romantic image of seafaring and the adventurous spirit it embodies.
The lyrics of "Santiano" reflect a common theme in folk music - the longing for freedom and a life unencumbered by the expectations and restrictions of society. The sea represents escape from the mundane and a search for adventure. The song has become popular in Germany and beyond, with its catchy melody and upbeat spirit.

"Santiano (English Version)"
(feat. Nathan Evans)
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 sailor's heart is keen to go
As far the wind in our sails may blow
Heave away, straight ahead Santiano
Ride the day and the heavens know
We'll be kings wherever we may go
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
Ride 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
Ride 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 sailor's heart is keen to go
As far the wind in our sails may blow
Heave away, straight ahead Santiano
Ride 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)
Ride the day and the heavens know
We'll be kings wherever we may go

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

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
