i see a dark sail on the horizon

set under a blak cloud that hides the sun



bring me my broadsword and clear understanding

bring me my cross of gold as a talisman

get up to the roundhouseon the cliff-top standing

take women and children and bed them down



bring me my broadsword and clear understanding

bring me my cross of gold as a talisman

bless with a hard hearth those who surround me

bless the women and children who firm our hands

put our backs to the north wind, hold fast by the river

sweet memories to drive us on for the motherland
