Go now, go quickly
In ebony night hours
Quiet as the dew drip
While the neighbour's
Dog in the kernel sleep

Go now, go quickly
Silently we go unseen
Not a time to reminisce
Look back contemplate in
Moments of tranquil peace

Go now, go quickly
Go to the waiting boat
To be vagrants homeless
Flee from the war brought
Hardship grief a life loveless

Go now, go quickly
To touch distant shore
Somewhere in safe haven
Still do not run foul of the law
Still a foreigner to struggle to earn
