The part in german goes saying:
what i can do and what i could do, I dont know anymore
give me something beautiful again, pull me from the sea
i hear you calling, Marian, you can hear me crying,
i am here alone...
I hear you calling, Marian, without your help i’m losing myslef in this place
I always believed the song is about someone who is desperate and full of trouble, and without exit, and is calling out to his last good beacon, Marian... the only person he can relate to in the troubled times, someone who probably represents something pure for him and that is what he needs to be safe. It's how i've always looked at it.
