On the shore she stood young and beautiful
The eyes wide, the cheeks red
And with the ships they want to pull
Into the long-dreamed land
And as she walked through the meadow
Then came a man with wind in the hair
He built her a bed in the grass
And held around her hand
Tia, tia, te faderaderej!
And held around her hand!
Tia, tia, te faderaderej!
And held around her hand!
That's how they were lying that night
On blättand and the flower splendour
The moon only saw what there g'shah
And heard her swearing
In the morning when the day dawned
There came a wind from sea, so cool
The beautiful virgin cheek red
Did he blow away
Tia, tia, te faderaderej!
Did he blow away!
Tia, tia, te faderaderej!
Did he blow away!
Then she searched for his skin
The flower bed was cold and empty
With wind in the sail his ship
Into the long-dreamed land
Tia, tia, te faderaderej!
Into the long-dreamed land!
Tia, tia, te faderaderej!
Into the long-dreamed land!
Tia, tia, te faderaderej!
Into the long-dreamed land!
Tia, tia, te faderaderej!
Into the long-dreamed land!
Then says she cut her fairy hair
And took the next ship to sea
She sought her sailor home
In the long-dreamed country
