Ha-a-a-a-a-aoo-o-ou
Afloat on the black stormy sea
Through the dark
Her waves are devouring me
Like a shark
I battle against the flood
I savour my own sweet blood

Land ahead!
You are the land I see
Land ahead!
My port-of-call
Land ahead!
My lighthouse, rescue me
And please don't let me drown
Before I reach your shore
Land ahead!

The storm blew my ship onto course
Through the dark
I laugh' cause I know that you're close
Still so far
I swallow the ocean's spray
I smell you not far away

Land ahead!
You are the land I see
Land ahead!
My port-of-call
Land ahead!
My lighthouse, rescue me
And please don't let me drown
Before I reach your shore
Land ahead!
