Til Havs (To The Sea)
You blow, fresh wind of the ocean
from the southwest
and sweetly caress the sailor’s cheek
best of all the winds

Toward the sea and storms
you boldly course
toward sea and storms
be then on guard!

On an endless ocean path, life is free
and cares are forgotten
when the green-white sea sings
its high freedom song

Toward sea . . . .

Swell, great lovely sail, swell
on the push of the wind
with resounding delight towards
mountainous waves
in the moment’s utmost joy

Toward the sea . . . .
