Away away she flies
Atop the ship's mast
Singing away her sorrow
Her words lost in the wind

Her tears glisten
In the moonlight
Her heart years
For her motherland

Waves crash upon the shore
Bathing the rocks with foam
A gale of wind, from the west
Billows away a young man's hat

She keeps an eye upon the horizon
A single cloud adorns it
The smell of sea salt,
And fishes fresh

The ship sails away
But she has eyes only for one
She searches but sees naught
She longs for him

Tears adorn her face
Her spirit remains maimed
But her eyes shine brighter
Than any star ever would

Humming deeply
She turns her back against the shore
Her tiny hands, clap softly
To the rhythm of the sea

Away away she flies
Atop the ship's mast
Singing away her spirit
Her words carried by the wind
