Hymne Til Havet - In Vain

Sammen seilte vi ut

Våre fartøy var losset til randen

Salmer ble sunget i natten

Ankeret hevet fra sanden

Kursen var satt

Det knaket godt i skipenes skott

Vevre never grep årene fatt

Havets ulmende klang

Kranset i evig slummer

Sjeler som synger sin klagesang

Midt i den mørke natt

Vi rider over dønningene

Det koker i gryende bølger

Og stormen ere naere

På brygga i havnen stod drengen igjen

Og vinket adjø til de som fòr

Skipet forsvant i horisonten

I morgengryets glødende sol

I generasjoner

Har det vaert ved havets klageport

De laerte sin sorg å glemme

De laerte sin sorg å glemme

Enker av havet

Havets ulmende klang

Kranset i evig slummer

Sjeler som synger sin klagesang

Midt i den mørke natt

Vi rider over dønningene

Synger de sin klagesang

Together we sailed out

Our vessels were unloaded to the brim

Hymns were sung at night

The anchor raised from the sand

The course was set

The ships' bulkheads cracked well

Weaving never took hold of the years

The smoldering sound of the sea

The wreath in eternal slumber

Souls who sing their lament

In the middle of the dark night

We ride over the swells

It boils in dawning waves

And the storm is near

The boy was left on the pier in the harbor

And waved goodbye to those who went

The ship disappeared on the horizon

In the glowing sun of dawn

For generations

Has it been at the sea's complaint gate

They learned to forget their grief

They learned to forget their grief

Widows of the sea

The smoldering sound of the sea

The wreath in eternal slumber

Souls who sing their lament

In the middle of the dark night

We ride over the swells

They sing their lament
