English text

Blow on, blow on, cold winds, blow on
With furious gust and roar;
Roll on, roll on, dark wave, roll on
To break on the far-off shore;
My ship is a beauty,
I ’tend to my duty, I
n safety I brave all the perils that come;
No trial or sorrows,
My happy heart borrows,
While over the fathomless ocean I roam.

Blow on, blow on, cold winds, blow on,
And howl thro’ the shrouds above;
Roll on, roll on, dark wave, roll on,
My ship is my pride and love;
No happier pillow
Than here on the billow,
Where seagulls will sing me so sweetly to rest;
Tho’ waves roll around me,
And dangers surround me,
My life on the ocean is happy and blest.
