Drift Away

TTTO “Hashmal Zorem B’Kapot Yadekha” (Riki Gal?)

For solid land, oh, my heart is yearning

The rest – they all think me weak

For food and comfort my heart is yearning

My future seems so bleak

For solid land, oh, my heart is yearning

Sailors don’t lose belief

For food and comfort my heart is yearning

From pain, I dream of relief

For solid land, oh, my heart is yearning

There’s naught I’m proud of

For food and comfort my heart is yearning

Warm food right from the stove

In my stomach – hunger burning

Frostbitten are my feet

Only now we’re slowly learning

How to conceit defeat

Oh, for solid land, I’m yearning – yes yearning

Oh, for solid land, I’m yearning – yes yearning

For solid land, oh, my heart is yearning

So long since I lost belief

Just trouble now, oh this journey’s earning

I’ll never know relief
