What luck! Just seven miles from port,
and the storm drove us back to sea. |
| 2 |
So close to home,
after so long a journey! |
| 3 |
Fate had this one last trick
waiting just for me. |
| 4 |
So close to home,
fate had to play one last trick. |
| 5 |
Ho! Captain! |
| 6 |
How are things on board? |
| 7 |
Good, captain.
This is a safe harbor. |
| 8 |
It's Sandwike. I know the inlet well. |
| 9 |
What luck! There on the shore,
I could already see my house. |
| 10 |
I was already thinking
of embracing my child, Senta. |
| 11 |
Then this strom blew up from Hell! |
| 12 |
If you rely on the wind,
you rely on Satan's mercy. |
| 13 |
Why complain? Patience!
The storm will let up. |
| 14 |
When it rages like this,
it doesn't last long. |
| 15 |
Well, lads! You've been awake too
long.
Go rest. I'm sure we're safe. |
| 16 |
Steersman, will you take the watch
for me?
There's no danger, but it's best to be alert. |
| 17 |
Don't worry. Sleep well, Captain. |
| 18 |
Through tempest and storm, from faraway
seas,
my maiden, I'm coming home. |
| 19 |
Through towering waves, back from
the south,
my maiden, I am here |
