The Seagull (translated by self)

Ro, mitt barn

Row, my child, to the bird rock
Many seagulls we found there
Those who brings us the gift
The dream about the ocean
All day we want to be
There, where all the seagulls are

Row, my child, before the day ends
There, where all the seagulls fly
Watch our imaginary vessel of longing
Be out there
Under sails toward foreign beaches
And towards the adventures of Sinbad

Row, my child, the lost kingdom
The ocean returns to us again
Follow the Flying Dutchman!
Legends of the sea
Is breaking through the scream of seagull
A bird of Atlantis, it is

Row, my child, in the blonde day
Under the sun’s fortune wheel
The seagull brings us the gift
The dream about the ocean
The seagull – is the beating of a wave
That made itself a bird
