Verse 1] Salt spray on our faces, in the fading morn, Our proud three-master leaves the land, new life is born. Foam whips the bow, the endless sea, Farewell to shore, a life of hardship, wild and free. Far from the harbor, sweet kisses warm and true, Just the horizon, the sky, and waters blue. [Pre-Chorus] The main sail flaps, the mast lets out a weary cry, Our hearts beat to the rhythm of the endless waves passing by. Each rolling wave tells a secret, softly whispered low, Our souls get lost within them, free to forever go. [Chorus] Hoist the main sail, shipmates, let your voices ring! For distant lands of gold, for the ocean that makes us sing. Under moon or sun, we cast off every line, In the arms of the open sea, our destiny entwines! [Verse 2] Long nights without slumber, the watch all alone, Stars as our only guide, on the bitter watery throne. Memories of laughter, a loved face so dear, Etched in our hearts, vanquishing every fear. In the trough of the waves, a refuge we find, Against the wild tempest, leaving worries behind. [Pre-Chorus] The main sail flaps, the mast lets out a weary cry, Our hearts beat to the rhythm of the endless waves passing by. Each rolling wave tells a secret, softly whispered low, Our souls get lost within them, free to forever go. [Chorus] Hoist the main sail, shipmates, let your voices ring! For distant lands of gold, for the ocean that makes us sing. Under moon or sun, we cast off every line, In the arms of the open sea, our destiny entwines! [Verse 3] In the ship's wake, decades have sailed on past, Forgotten harbors, faces fading fast. Rum warms our bodies, old stories unfold, Of hidden treasures, and monsters brave and bold. Every scar on our skin, a tale engraved, Of the ocean conquered, and battles bravely saved. [Pre-Chorus] The main sail flaps, the mast lets out a weary cry, Our hearts beat to the rhythm of the endless waves passing by. Each rolling wave tells a secret, softly whispered low, Our souls get lost within them, free to forever go. [Chorus] Hoist the main sail, shipmates, let your voices ring! For distant lands of gold, for the ocean that makes us sing. Under moon or sun, we cast off every line, In the arms of the open sea, our destiny entwines! [Bridge] When the sky rumbles, and the lightning tears through, The old salt never falters, steadfast and true. His wrinkles tell tales, a thousand stories deep, Of shipwrecks and lost loves, secrets the oceans keep. [Verse 4] Sometimes, the doldrums, the wait seems endless and long, Under a scorching sun, where the heat feels strong. Then the wind rises, fills the sails with might, And hope is reborn, guided by starlight. The salt on our lips, the taste of the quest, The promise of landfall, for the next shore feast. [Pre-Chorus] The main sail flaps, the mast lets out a weary cry, Our hearts beat to the rhythm of the endless waves passing by. Each rolling wave tells a secret, softly whispered low, Our souls get lost within them, free to forever go. [Final Chorus] Hoist the main sail, shipmates, let your voices ring! For distant lands of gold, for the ocean that makes us sing. Under moon or sun, we cast off every line, In the arms of the open sea, our destiny entwines!
