Original text and translations

English text

Away, my bark, my home is on the sea,
Tho’ winds and billows roar,
Fling forth the canvas free, and dash away the foam,
Fly swiftly o’er the sea, and proudly bear us home.
Onward we go, onward we go,
Now our flag to the breeze we fling;
Rolling along, rolling along,
While our songs of the sea we sing.
Then hie thee on, and gain the distant shore,
Whatever winds may blow,
Fear not the breakers’ roar;
Tho’ fierce the gale may be;
Then speed, ye winds, my bark
with swiftness o’er the sea;
Away, away, away!
