I see a dark sail on the horizon Set under a black cloud that hides the sun
Bring me my broadsword and clear understanding Bring me my cross of gold as a talisman Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing Take women and children and bed them down
Bring me my broadsword and clear understanding Bring me my cross of gold as a talisman Bless with a hard hearth those who surround me Bless the women and children who firm our hands
Put our backs to the north wind, hold fast by the river Sweet memories to drive us on for the motherland
I see a dark sail on the horizon Set under a black cloud that hides the sun
So bring me my broadsword and clear understanding Bring me my cross of gold as a talisman
So bring me my broadsword and my cross of gold as a talisman Broadsword
