I stand on the deck,
Gazing at Apollo’s playground
The shrilling sea-warriors hover above
The suzerain of sky is rising
I salute him with reverence
The zephyr is dancing around
Like a priestess of Ceres,
Fluttering my flag of roaring tiger
My darling ‘Diana’ is sailing with passion
The erotic waves are dragging her on
I see the sea guardians,
Romping in the serene sea
They bid adieu with whistles and clicks
We sail on for hours in hopes to see land
Full of food, wine and damsels
“Ahoy!” shouts a companion on the mast
He points to the horizon covered by mist
Some are scared, some are excited
My fearless darling sails on,
Piercing the curtain of mist
The shrieks of hidden creatures,
Tears apart the souls of some
The broken ships and,
The bones of the dead,
Put hopes in the hearts of none
Suddenly appears tall, mighty rocks,
Threatening to devour us mercilessly
I laugh at them with a smirk,
Steering Diana left and right, right and left,
Accompanied by the cheers of my men
She brings us to the serene sea again,
As we escape the mist of death
She sails on around an isle of boulders;
Round, square, pointy, smooth,
Huge, small, blue, black, brown and green
A pleasant song floats through the air
The melodic tone cheers our hearts
On a little black rock,
Sitting is a beautiful mermaid,
Singing her heart out to the world
Her body shines under Apollo’s gaze
My darling’s presence devours her bliss
She looks at us like a frightened doe
But her fear melts away like dew
She dives into the sea waving at us,
With a smile, disappearing into the deep
We sail on, oh! We sail on
