Translation
Bilingual
Confident at last, we have set our sails for Egypt
Penury and Newgate left behind
We are all alone, oh, but we have new horizons
Saviours of the feeble and the blind
Oh, we have fled from disaster
Oh, we have fled from a sign
Oh, we have sailed all these passing days
Sharing friendship and praise
Taking men aboard, we began to have misgivings
Victims of an opulent parade
But smiling now we leave the golden island of our fathers
Seeking out the arrows of our way
Oh, we have fled from disaster
Oh, we have fled from a sign
Oh, we have sailed all these passing days
Sharing friendship and praising the day
When the cold sea mist was lifting
Cold that drives a wedge into our eyes
I am smiling, smiling at a restlessness I've known
Looking for an old is my own
But now I leave the shanty towns and castles in the south
Should I trip and stumble, fall into the lion's mouth?
Oh, we are drifting needlessly
Won't you come and marry me?
Oh, we are drifting needlessly
Won't you come and marry me?
Oh, we are drifting needlessly
Won't you come and marry me?
Oh, we are drifting needlessly
Won't you come and marry me?
Quick, before our ship can reach dry land!
