Oh my boy
Could this be the destiny
To travel on your ship
Through the seas, through the rivers
To walk
I am a son
Oh my little one
Could this be the path
To sail alone like this
Without someone waiting for us
At the docks
Every life exists to illuminate
The path of other lives
That we come across
No man will be desert or trail
Just as the river cannot deny the sea
Whether in any north or south
Whether in Denmark or here
Dream, supportive dream
Makes love grow daily
Makes a friend on every street
Or bar
Go
Open the doors of the ship
Drink the sea and drink the river
Live life and live the time
To love
Son
Go on with your life
