Tha am ball air fhuasgladh Is tha sinn a' gluasad Air a' chuan, air a' chuan Tha sinn a' seòladh Tro thonnan uaine Air a' chuan, air a' chuan
Air cùrsa deònach Tha sinn a' seòladh Air a' chuan, air a' chuan Fad bho thìr Is an talamh àghmhor Air a' chuan, air a' chuan
Is mi a' sealltainn man cuairt Is mi cho fada bhuat Càil ach muir, tonnan is cuan Ò mo rùn
Tha a' ghaoth a' sèideadh Nan tonnan fiadhaich Air a' chuan, air a' chuan Tro thonnan fiadhaich Is droch shìde Air a' chuan, air a' chuan
Cho domhainn an cuan Cho luachmhor an uair Nach mair fada buan Ò mo rùn
Sinn a' treabhadh Tron an oidhche Air a' chuan, air a' chuan Siubhal sàbhailteachd Is madainn shunndach Air a' chuan, air a' chuan
Thig crìoch air an t-saoghal Is thig crìoch air daoin' Ach mairidh ceòl is mairidh gaol Ò mo rùn
The ropes have been undone And we are set adrift On the open seas, on the open seas We are sailing on Through the green waves On the open seas, on the open seas
On a willing course We keep sailing On the open seas, on the open seas Ever far from land And the glorious soil On the open seas, on the open seas
And as I look around me All I feel is my distance from you Separated by the relentless ocean My love
The wind is rushing Through the wild waves On the open seas, on the open seas Through the raging seas And the brooding weather On the open seas, on the open seas
The ocean is unfathomable And the time that lever lasts Is too previous My love
And so we journey on Through the night On the open seas, on the open seas Searching for safe waters And the peaceful morning On the open seas, on the open seas
The world will come to an end An end must come for mankind But music and love, they'll last forever My love
