Letra de 'Scharnhorst' de Nighon

My dear mother
The skies are grey
Can't say if it's night or day

My dear mother
I'll soon leave
I'll be home for new years eve

My dear mother
The mood is low
The weather's toll starts to show

My dear mother
Don't cry for me
I'm the stalwart of the sea

All down the line
Chills down the spine
In shattered ice
Our bow rise

My dear father
I hope I could
Tell what we're doing in this icy hell

My dear father
Please pray dear
That we get home with cheer

My dear father
The night is dark
We only see the stars' spark

My dear father
It is so cold
That time seems to be on hold

Battlestations, battlestations, we're under attack
Hostile contact to northwest
Damagereport from all compartments
This is not a drill

One by one they fall
To the depth of the sea them call
Young men to die in vain
Begging for mercy in great pain

One by one they beg
Please only take my left leg
A great macabre parade
Never ending line to the first aid

(In kontakt mit schweren einheiten)

My dear brother
I feel scared
This is nothing I used to fear

My dear brother
Pray for me
That we can leave this sea

I stay for this one last moment
I stand and fall in the fire
Now I dive
I stay for this one last moment
I stand and fall in the fire
Now I die

Engineroom to bridge, engineroom to bridge! Critical engine failure
We can only give 12 knots at maximum speed
Critical damaged turbins, stop
Escape no longer possible, stop
Multiple heavy units engaging, stop
We shall fight to the last shell, stop
This is your captain speaking, prepare to fight to last shell

My dear brother
I lie in oil
Instead of glory I got turnoil

My dear father
Forgive me
The cold sea will devour me

My dear mother
Do not weep
In the far north I will sleep

If you receive this letter
I can be at peace
If there is any glory in war
You'll find none

(In knotakt mit schweren einheiten)

This is your captain speaking, abandon ship, abandon ship
I thank you for your service, it has been an honor to serve with each one of you
We have done what we canout here
Abandon ship
Your families think about you in this dark hour
If anyone of you should survive
Let everyone know that we did what was expected of us
I wish you all the best! Captain out

I stand and fall in the fire
All batteries fire! Fire! Fire!
Please forgive me

I stay for this one last moment
Now I die
Do not forget me
