Ships
Far away, the masts swim out from behind the mist like the past from the land.
Far away, the bell echoes from the cabin, the wind carries the clay.
Far away, the ships white ships from the land I thought I had forgotten.
Behind the veils of mist, behind the seas of the lands, behind the mountains, the seas of the lands.
Tell me where the ships got the wind in their sails.
Do they still bring me a message from somewhere far away.
Tell me if they swim to me, I've seen ships from childhood.
When snow-white ships swim from there like clouds.
When snow-white ships swim from there like clouds.
Again, I sweat, I get a tan and the maidens wink from afar.
Again, the visions of the islands lure me with promises.
Then, the ships pursue me, they are carried far by the wandering wind,
Behind the veils of mist, behind the seas of the lands, behind the mountains, the seas of the lands.
Tell me about the ships caught the wind in their sails.
Do they still bring me a message from somewhere far away.
Tell me if they are swimming to me, I have loved ships since childhood.
When snow-white ships float away like clouds.
Snow-white ships swim away like clouds .
Tell me if the ships from my childhood swim to me.
Snow white ships swim from there like clouds.
