letra de the still and silent ocean - peter bellamy

across the still and the silent ocean
our ship she finds her way alone
the crew they make no loud commotion
the chainéd transports they make no moan

all black despair do lie behind us
and what awaits us, no man may know
of those dark days naught can remind us
new worlds are waiting to which we go

are we in chains? we do not feel them
are we ill-quartered? we don’t complain
do we have guards? we do not see them
do we have sickness? we fell no pain
for the night is passed, nеw days are dawning
winter is over and spring draws nigh
what’s donе is done, there’s no time for mourning
what’s lost is lost, and there’s no time to sigh

god bless those tender-hearted creatures
who brought us back to our own again
good health to all whose kind deeds did reach us
good luck to them who did ease our pain

glad fortune come to mrs jackson
to bold john simpson and lord sydney too
almighty god, do spare and keep them
and grant them peace when their days are through

come all you poor benighted convicts
come join us in our present joy
come all you seamen who sail the tropics
rejoice with us that our goal is nigh

when we’re ashore, the priest will wed us
as soon as we do reach the strand
salute the captain who here has led us
to the hopeful pastures of van diemen’s land
