In a sea of faces,
in a sea of doubt,
In this cruel place your voice above this nail's jaw.
In this wake of ships of fools I've fallen further down,
If you can't see me,
Marianne,
reach out and take me home.
Save me,
save me, save me from the grave.
There's no weight above me,
and the pressure is all too strong,
To breathe deep,
breathe long,
and how to take the water down and come to sleep.
To sink still further
beneath this fatal wave,
Oh, Marianne, I think I'm drowning,
this sea is killing me.
Can you hear me calling you to save me,
save me,
save me from the grave?
Was ich kann und was ich könnte,
das weiß ich gar nicht mehr,
Ich bin hier allein,
ich hör dich rufen, Marianne,
Ohne deine Hilfe
verliere ich mich in diesem Ort.
Marianne,
can you hear me calling you to save me,
save me,
save me from the grave?
