Select language to translate this lyric
carried away by the wind is the cargo of a young captain
when he faces his morning with calm eyes
in your loneliness you got used to being
only the seagulls shout their insults
and the ship continues its course
when the eyes of the sky light up
in the glow of a cigarette is humanity
I'm close to you
you need me
I'm so far away
I live for tomorrow's port
on a crusade to hell
I'm close to you
I'm so far away
I live for tomorrow's harbor
on a crusade to hell
songs in the streets fall silent to prayer
the ship is delayed because of a storm
women make the sign of the cross on their chests
orphaned children for your prayers unite
and the ship continues its course
when the eyes of the sky light up
in the glow of the cigarette is humanity
I am close to you...
the ship is already coming from there, the masts are broken
the cold winds have swept away the men's faces
only a piece of wind remains under the white wings
Mother Maria is thanked by a quiet crowd
I am close to you...
