Lyrics - Original English Version

Now here I stand
Oh, in the morning sunshine
Dreaming only of the promised land
Somewhere, they say, beyond the great horizon
Lies a beautiful island

Everyone says he longs at heart for Shangri-La
But that it's a nowhere-land, after all
How I wonder why no one tries to sail out
Looking for a strange paradise

In my dreams, I've seen people there
Exchanging words of love and care
In the bright sunbeams they're dancing with the birds
And they're singing all day long beside the streams

One day, someday
You'll surely find me sailing away
For the white beach of the promised land

Now here we stand
Oh, in the burning sunset
Talking only of the promised land
I'm gland to know now I am not the only one
I've got nice friends who share dreams with me

We are so young; we've got some magic powers
We are nourishing like flowers
Oh, let us wait until the day comes when we will all
Sail across the deeper blue sea

In our dreams, we've seen people there
Exchanging words of love and care
In the bright sunbeams, they're dancing with the birds
And they're singing all day long beside the streams

One day, someday
You'll surely find us sailing away
For the white beach of the promised land
