| Away from Iceland’s shores I must,
|
| The king says I must go Some neighbours asked a fight with me And I laid their bodies low
|
| Now my face is in the wind again
|
| And friends are by my side
|
| The green land we are looking for
|
| And we trust in Odin’s might
|
| Come join me now I know the way,
|
| (We'll be free!)
|
| No king to rule us down
|
| (Ride the sea!)
|
| Man the boats and hoist the sails,
|
| (All hands on deck!)
|
| There’s land to find I know,
|
| (Don't look back!)
|
| Through the wind and storm I’ll carry on To a new land where the sun will dawn
|
| In the wind and storm I’ll raise my head
|
| Eric the Red
|
| My son I see the fire in your eyes
|
| As I felt when I was young
|
| And I’ve listened to the Skalds and tales, you’ve gotta go as I have done
|
| But it’s your way Leif Eriksson,
|
| The Red has come too old
|
| The Vinland you will find I know,
|
| Ride the wind be strong and bold
|
| Come join me now I know the way,
|
| (We'll be free!)
|
| No king to rule us down
|
| (Ride the sea!)
|
| Man the boats and hoist the sails,
|
| (All hands on deck!)
|
| There’s land to find I know,
|
| (Don't look back!)
|
| Through the wind and storm I’ll carry on To a new land where the sun will dawn
|
| In the wind and storm I’ll raise my head
|
