Free man, you shall forever cherish the ocean! |
|
The sea is your mirror; you contemplate your soul |
|
In its eternal waves that chafe and roll |
|
Your mind's abyss is bitter as the sea |
|
Both of you live in darkness and in mystery |
|
Man, who has ever plumbed the depths of your being? |
|
O Sea, who knows your hidden riches |
|
Seeing the secrets you preserve so jealously? |
|
You love to plunge into your image down to the core |
|
Embracing it with eyes and arms: your very heart |
|
Sometimes finds a distraction from its urgent smart |
|
In the wild ocean's untamable roar |
|
Both of you live in darkness and mystery |
|
Man, who has ever plumbed the depths of your being? |
|
O Sea, who knows your hidden riches |
|
Seeing the secrets you preserve so jealously? |
|
And yet for countless ages you have fought each other |
|
With hands unsparing and with unforbearing breath |
|
Each an eternal foe to his relentless brother |
|
So avid are you both of slaughter and of death |
|
Man and the sea |
|
Man and the sea |
|
Man and the sea |
|
Man and the sea |
|
Eternal wrestlers! Man and Sea |
|
Unrelenting twins! Man and Sea - You have fought each other |
|
Man and Sea - With unforbearing breath |
|
Man and Sea - Eternal Wrestlers! Man and Sea |
|
Man and Sea - Each an eternal foe to his brother |
|
Man and Sea - So avid are you both of fight and death |
