Seemann - Apocalyptica feat. Nina Hagen (English subtitles)

The Finnish cello metal band Apocalyptica with their Rammstein cover Seemann (meaning Sailor or Seaman (haha very funny!)) featuring the wonderfully insane Nina Hagen.

My English translation:
Come, get in my boat
A storm is brewing and nightfall is nearing
Where are you going?
You are drifting away so utterly alone
Who will hold your hand
When it drags you below?

Now you are standing there by the lantern
With tears in your eyes
Daylight falling aside
The autumn wind sweeping the streets empty

Now you are standing there by the lantern
With tears in your eyes
The evening light driving away the shadows
Time is standing still and autumn is coming

Come, get in my boat
The yearning will be our shipmate
Come, get in my boat
The best sailor was me after all

Now you are standing there by the lantern
With tears in your eyes
You are stealing the fire from the candles
Time is standing still and autumn is coming

All they talked about was your mother
Only the night is so merciless
In the end I remain alone after all
Time is standing still and I feel cold

The actual German lyrics:
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

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

Nina Hagen scares me a lil.......O_O

[Gorthik]

This is perfect!: 2 amazing artists making a cover of a wonderful song!

[Replayer101]

I came in her Boat. yeah!

[supersliced87]

Well. That was disappointing...

[GlowyDaBstrd]

....just my opinion; Nina's voice sounds very irritating. i don't like it.

even though, it's surprising how low she can go. o.o

[sayosiberia]

Eicca is so beautiful.

[cliffordodelljones2]

I am a lower level bass. I can't sing as low as her. O_O

[cliffordodelljones2]

@halosamurai1 There's a good version of the Ramstein version with german lyrics and english subs below.

[halosamurai1]

HOLY SHIT SHE IS SCARY!!!! :0 lol epic song (even though I have absolutely no idea what she is saying)

[Nanceify]

Don't know what she's saying all I know is come into my boat, lol. Great song.

[Wolfsoul85]

She has a very special way to pronounce the german language, just like Rammstein has. I´m german and even for me it´s unusual ;)

Trotzdem ein verdammt gutes Lied und ein gelungenes Cover!
