Hi Bowien,

I see that you've requested proofreading for this song, so I've listed some recommended changes below as well as an explanation of why I'm recommending the change. If you would like additional clarification for any of the changes I've recommended, I'm happy to explain further.

1. We walk through the harbor in the night --> At night, we walk through the harbor.
nachts = at night. "At night" should be used here, it has a slightly different meaning than "in the night."

2. The dreams, about / A far country --> they dream of / a far-off land
Grammar correction, the ships are the ones doing the dreaming.

3. But now everything is clearly --> But now everything is clear
"Klar" is an adjective, so you want to use the adjective "clear" instead of the adverb "clearly."

4. That what they holdback --> what held them back
You could also say "That which held them back..." but "that what" is not grammatically correct.

5. Release her today --> releases them today
We use "she/he" in English very rarely when referring to inanimate objects, but in this case it's referring to the ships, so it would be "they" regardless.

6. Where we go --> of where we're going.
This line is part of the same sentence above it, so it's "We're not afraid of where we're going."

7. I can't sleep --> I can't sleep yet
noch nicht = yet

8. But my eyelids are heavy --> But my eyelids are becoming heavy
It's probably supposed to say "werden" instead of "warden."

9. and when you're tired --> and you're tired, too
auch = too

10. as they see --> as you can see
What's being said here is that one can clearly see that this person is tired, too.

11. Stupid, without emotions --> Silently, without movement
stumm = silent. "Stupid" should never be used for this word. Although historically we used to use the word "dumb" to mean "mute," that word is no longer used this way in English and is considered offensive. And in any case, its meaning there was different than the synonym "dumb" meaning "stupid." So, stumm = silent; dumm = dumb/stupid.

Regung can mean emotion, but here is it describing the ships, so that meaning doesn't make sense.

12. The ships, Where once water was --> lie boats where water once was

13. Whispers as we --> whispers when we are defenseless
Some words were missing here, the German phrase was: "flüstert, wenn wir wehrlos sind"

14. are defenseless --> our song
This should have been with the line above, and the "our song" part was missing. The German phrase was: "unser lied."

15. We hold eachother --> We hold onto one another
"We hold each other" could be an acceptable translation for this if it was just this line by itself, but not since the next line goes with it.

16. We never let go anymore --> never let each other go
The use of "anymore" implies this has been happening for a long time or in the past, so that's not correct.

17. the keep scars --> ?
I'm not sure what is meant here, but this doesn't make sense.

18. they're not that --> are really not that big
Since this goes with the sentence above it, I'm guessing it means something like "The scars that last / are really not that big."

19. Because I can't run away --> since I can't run away
seit = since.

20. It took to long / But it is never / nine years ago --> it took a long time / but it's not never / it's been nine years
A few words seem to have been missed here, this is another set of lines that need to be considered as a whole sentence in order to get the meaning.

21. The days / and nights curse, alone / lie and lying / It makes me small --> Curse the days / and nights alone / the lies and denials / it made me small.
None of the nouns are capitalized in the lyrics, but they should be. "Lügen" and "Leugnen" are nouns here. And "machte" is past tense.

22. We kiss and we kiss us --> We kiss and kiss each other
Grammar correction.

23. As if it were / The last kiss / Not long ago --> It's as if the / last kiss / was not so long ago
Some grammar corrections, this set of three lines forms a complete sentence.

24. It's nine years ago / Where nothing happens --> There were nine years / in which nothing happened.
Grammar corrections. What I wrote above is a literal translation, but it's not really how we would say this in English at all. We would actually phrase it quite differently, like "It's been nine years since anything happened." But to stay more literal you could say: "For nine years / nothing happened."

25. We go in the night through the harbor --> same as #1.

26. Somewhere shines a light --> Somewhere, a light burns.
Grammar correction.

27. We see the men, who sleep / With a red head / and a raptured face --> We see the men, sleeping, with red heads and raptured faces
Grammar correction - since this is describing men (plural), the other nouns also have to be plural.

27. The sailor buzzes early at four --> Skippers hum early, around four
It's probably fine to use "sailor" here but it's plural rather than singular, which we can tell by the way "summen" is conjugated. "Summen" can mean buzz, but "hum" makes more sense in this context because it goes with the lines around it. The way we would phrase these last three lines in English would be quite different but would reveal what the meaning is: "Early, around four, skippers hum our song to a hoarse piano." So in that context, it doesn't make sense that they would "buzz" the song.
