"As soon as my eyes fell on the old chest nestled between boxes and suitcases in the corner of the attic, I knew I'd found something significant. Made of dark wood, intricately carved, its metal fittings exquisitely hand crafted, the chest was a relic of an era long past. It contained only one item: a small book, its brown leather cover cracked and crumbling. It looked like a diary. As I gently lifted it from where it has rested for who knows how long, a packet of letters fell from between its pages. My mind raced without a thousand questions: Who did the diary belong to ? What stories might be waiting inside? As I reached out to open it, I realized i was holding my breath..."
"Dear diary,
My name is Susanne. My beloved husband Joseph, whom I love above all earthly things, has just sailed out on another long voyage to the Far East. Oh how I miss him already! But I must be strong. May God preserve him and return him safely home to me, with tales of wonders and adventures to tell. Until then it will bring me comfort to freely express my feeling in your pages."
Ras! Aan boord! Your ship has left the harbour On her way to distant shores May her arms protect you When the gale wind roars
What I'd give to hold you In my arms and be together On a sea of hope we sail Calling saints and angels To guide you on your trail
CHORUS Ras! Aan boord trossen los! One look at you and you Light up the sky and my emotion Hijs Het zeil anker op! Return to me from the mist Of the endless sea
I vow to be courageous Not allow myself undone A gentle storm within me My vigil has begun
What I'd give to hold you In my arms and be together Though the waves have drawn you in My everlasting love for you Will keep you safe within
CHORUS Ras! Aan boord trossen los! One look at you and you Light up the sky and my emotion Hijs Het zeil anker op! Return to me from the mist Of the endless sea You'll be back from the endless sea
Ras! Aan boord trossen los! One look at you and you Light up the sky and my emotion Hijs Het zeil anker op! Return to me from the mist Of the endless sea You'll be back from the endless seaTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
