English Translation
We are all on an ocean Steering a course through life Sailing a dark vessel Lost in the grasp of the ocean The wind is astern The boat forging ahead And time and the sea Makes no sense to us at all The sea is calm It is wild, it is vast It is beautiful, it is mysterious It is vengeful and deep O, but we, are blind and all we have is life Raise the sail, lift the oars 'Till we get up speed I intend, I do intend when the sun is sinking down To be seen steering a westerly course On the ocean's cycle to Uist On the ocean's cycle Forever I'll be turning To take me back to the pole machair in the west Where the day has dawned |
