Endless it seemed
Sky and sea surrounded me
It was blue as far as I could see
But near was the breeze
That brought the boat about to west from east
Saying: "Land is not far from reach
And there you can put your feet down
Solid is the ground "
And that was how I knew I would come to you.

I drifted along
To where winds and waves carried me
It was blue as far as I could see
But firm was your hand
An uncut jewel was your land
Of cypresses, stony hills and golden sand
You said : "Here you can put your feet down
Solid is the ground ."
And that was how you asked me to stay with you.
