SOS
English translation by Indira, AI assistant. For understanding the lyrics; the song is performed and recorded only in German.
Our bow has cut the sea
since the very first night.
I have, you have suffered much, fought much,
done much.
We pull the boat across,
ever onward, piece by piece.
And quite a few of the others
broke their necks doing it.
A pity about the beautiful eyes
that stood there, knew each other,
rolled this way and that,
did not look quite dreadful.
Sand and sea and distant islands,
reef and storm and something else,
I would rather not have drowned,
that is why the water is wet.
SOS — in free fall since the very first bang.
SOS — the one in the snow asks whether I will ever see you again.
SOS — come along, nobody is indifferent.
And even the one in a stranglehold still shouts:
save our ship!
Never say how long you have been ill.
Never ask who sank with it.
The sun is setting now; you have been there a long time,
bringing all the others down one last time.
I can still see your mouths; you dance the great turn
at the bottom of the sea.
How long will this last?
Is it my head that is leaking?
I will not pity you; I stay hidden...
With my murky words,
which even I do not understand,
at the bottom of the sea.
