Let's make sail the wind is right  Weigh the anchor fast  Say farewell to kids and wife  We're taking off at last  We're heading for South America  Seeking for an island  Where no one else has been before  Where no one else has stepped ashore    Shift the helm to South of West  Let's sail into the night  We're gliding through the ocean fast  Although the devil smiles  For somewhere in South America  Waits an island in the sun  Where noone else has been before  Where no man at arms has stepped ashore    Let's make sail the wind is right  Weigh the anchor fast  Say farewell to kids and wife  We're taking off at last  We're heading for South America  Seeking for an island  Where no one and nothing has been before  We'll even sail a year or more    The Departure (instr.)     They had left the harbour of Lisbon in the early evening sailed around  the Southern peak of Europe crossed the Atlantic ocean along the west  coast of Africa and cast anchor for the first time at the "Cape of Good  Hope"...calmness under a starry sky.
