Just as when the sun is setting So the end of the voyage arrives Into port our ship enters Soon we shall be home Whirlpools and storms Far behind us We are in Cornish waters And we want to see our dear ones Swiftly we sail Through the large waves We watch the lights On the cliffs of Land’s End Both the surge of beloved waters And the lighthouse welcome us And this wind from the west Serves us well A journey seems endless When one cannot see land With the thunderous sea around us We can take no more We were inclined to mutiny When we were downhearted But within sight, the journey’s end Brings us great joy Swiftly we sail Through the large waves We watch the lights On the cliffs of Land’s End Both the surge of beloved waters And the lighthouse welcome us And this wind from the west Serves us well Waves bigger than houses Blocked our way And constantly thrown about in the ocean We badly longed for a harbour And now as we approach The land at day’s end Our ship’s horn won’t seem sad When it gives the folk a warning blast Swiftly we sail Through the large waves We watch the lights On the cliffs of Land’s End Both the surge of beloved waters And the lighthouse welcome us And this wind from the west Serves us well Darling, you don’t know How I want to be Once more in your embrace The waiting is endless for us We pass the rocks Gliding towards the quay And once more on dry land You plant your sweet kiss on me
