Komm in mein Boot ein Sturm kommt auf und es wird Nacht Wo willst du hin so ganz allein treibst du davon Wer hält deine Hand wenn es dich nach unten zieht Wo willst du hin so uferlos die kalte See Komm in mein Boot der Herbstwind hält die Segel straff Jetzt stehst du da an der Laterne mit Tränen im Gesicht das Tageslicht fällt auf die Seite der Herbstwind fegt die Straße leer Jetzt stehst du da an der Laterne hast Tränen im Gesicht das Abendlicht verjagt die Schatten die Zeit steht still und es wird Herbst Komm in mein Boot die Sehnsucht wird der Steuermann Komm in mein Boot der beste Seemann war doch ich Jetzt stehst du da an der Laterne hast Tränen im Gesicht das Feuer nimmst du von der Kerze die Zeit steht still und es wird Herbst Sie sprachen nur von deiner Mutter so gnadenlos ist nur die Nacht am Ende bleib ich doch alleine die Zeit steht still und mir ist kalt |
Come in my boat a storm is rising and it is becoming night Where do you want to go so completely alone you are drifting away Who holds your hand when it pulls you under Where do you want to go so boundless the cold sea Come in my boat the autumn wind holds the sails taut Now you are standing by the lantern with tears in your face the daylight falls on the side the autumn wind sweeps the streets clear Now you are standing by the lantern you have tears in your face the evening light chases away the shadows time stands still and it becomes autumn Come in my boat the helmsman feels longing Come in my boat the best seaman was I Now you are standing by the lantern you have tears in your face you take the fire from the candle time stands still and it becomes autumn They only spoke of your mother only the night is so merciless at the end I am left alone time stands still and I am cold |
“Seemann” is noted to be one of the few slow paced songs by the band. During the live performance, Flake Lorenz used to “surf the crowd” in a boat. However, after being injured several times and almost completely stripped at one concert, the band’s bassist Oliver “Ollie” Riedel took his place. It is one of the few songs by the band performed in a major key.
What a beautifull song…and what a VOICE!I knew he had a tremendesly special voice,but he really surprised me here!!Now I love Rammstein even more,if possible!They are true artist in soul and heart.It is the best band ever!And me beeing a 45 years old grandmother….ha ha ha…should say it all!!I am not the typical grandmother you can say!But I love the band,their music,lyrics,shows and videos.Rammstein rules!!!!
I don’t think I’m worthy…. This song is damn beatiful. Rammstein is the best band ever, and this song proves it.
Tanya is right. But there is always somebody who says that the song is about loving someone who doesnt love you 😀 😀 😀 Are you crazy, you think all songs in the universe have to be about loving someone who doesnt love you and feeling lonely? 😀
Seemann is about the greek myth about the Queen of the Underworld – Persephone. And ofcourse about Hades’ ferryman – Charon.

idk to me, the song in a nutshell is as if sung by someone broken, yet still longing for glory of the past.
Perhaps this narrates either of these so called “theories” of what song is about what. Im probably not the only one, but I enjoy songs by trimming a lot of stuff to only feeling the basic emotions in it, and you feel immersed in the story told by the author, in the form of a melody, almost like watching a movie. Of course different people probably hears a different “story”, and that in itself is a beautiful phenomenon. For you and this Tanya to hear the same song and listen to a different, unique stories
@Jagan, the literally translation of “seemann” is “sea man”, since see is “sea” or “lake” and mann is, yeah, man.. so yes, it’s “sailor”.
OnT: This is probably one of the best Rammstein-songs ever. Oh God how I love it. Makes me cry almost every time.
One of my favorite songs from Rammstein.
I think this song is attempting to show the loneliness that exists in every single human being.
Even my ass Laugh
Seriously SeeMan mean sailor?
wow is in english already seeman =)) kmon guys i though u know better but w/e. Gr8 song with rly great bass sound \m/
Really it sounds like they are describing the boatman at the river Styx. Only they can know, really. Great song, absolutely beautiful. Nina Hagen and Apocolyptica also do a beautiful cover of this song.
Hahaha looks like he saying Come into my boot in the lyrics xD
I was extremely surprised when I heard Till’s voice in this songs, and also surprised at the calmness in the song. But somehow it still keeps the “Rammstein” glow.
I think it’s great that the band can do some alternative songs 😀
Komm in mein Boot
die Sehnsucht wird
der Steuermann
I think the correct translation would be:
Come in my boat,
longing shall be
the helmsman
ok anyanca I agree with you but I don't think its because the person they loved wasn't able to be saved, I think the person is sad because the person they love wouldn't love them so the person feels lost, alone and sad without this person.
this song is soooooooooo damn beautifull!! I cant believe it……….T_T
hay wats so sad about this song plz help nme
it's about someone who is so alone that all they feel is sadness, and someone they love(-ed), and tried to save, but couldn't.
extremely beautiful song
Nice song.
Very sad for me T_T
