I carried that dream as a girl,
Dreaming by a fjord so deep,
That my destiny called
From the deck of that great coastal ship.

Always at evening,
When the ship hailed from far out at sea,
Saying she heads north
As I ran to the harbour to see.

I carried that dream as a girl,
Dreaming by a fjord so deep,
That my destiny called
From the deck of that great coastal ship

A feast coming in,
An Arabian night with a taste of salt,
Fond goodbye so good Lord!
There you are! These boxes with cats,
These eggs that must not be broken,
These sailors' cries and rope thrown down
On the dock for tying,
Seeing the world itself arriving.

Always at evening,
That's when the ship called out to me,
Saying she heads north
As I ran to the harbour to see.

I carried that dream as a girl,
Dreaming by a fjord so deep,
That my destiny called
From the coastal ship far out at sea.

Made of steel and fairytales.
What a sight!
The Captain's black uniform
With stripes gold and bright.

Happiness coming in.
Happiness coming through the dark.

I carried that dream as a girl,
Dreaming by a fjord so deep,
That my destiny called
From the coastal ship far out at sea.
