At 4:30 in the morning   I boarded a boat

My intention was to meet you

Rain stormed down upon the boat; With desperation, I pushed my way though the black sea
I wanted to locate something
Before me, a light appeared on the coast

Because I don’t want to die, I frantically swam the black sea

 

At 4:30 in the morning   I boarded a boat

My intention was to meet you

Inside the boat, there was nobody; On the vast deck, I walked alone

I wanted to locate something
The rainy wind was unforgiving in its chill

Because I don’t want to sink, I frantically swam the black sea

 

Because the sea was dark, I stopped swimming and tried to float

And then, as I did that, the sky, too, became black!

And of course because I don’t want to die, I frantically swim the black sea

 

In the eastern sky, a line of light was clinging (on the horizon)

Because the sea was dark, I stopped swimming and tried to float

And then, as I did that, the sky, too, became black!

Because I don’t want to die, I frantically swam the black sea
