今夜我将启航，非上帝不能将我召回
请求你，以我的五指为绳索
以我的笔为桅杆
以我的纸为风帆

今夜我将启航，非太阳不能将我召回
双足已在泥泞之中浸了太久
意图遁入由二十七个字母构成的黑夜

今夜我将启航，非所爱之人不能将我召回
怎么会有应许之地，不过是
在圣洁的时刻希望离去
我抛弃故土的一切
宁愿换来一个沉默的结局

今夜我将启航，非这帆船不能将我召回
我燃烧的心在起锚时冷却
帆船在我的心冷却时起锚

Set Sail

Tonight I will set sail, and no one but God can bring me back
Please - I'm begging you, use my fingers as ropes
My pen for a mast
My paper for a sail

Tonight I will set sail, and nothing but this sun can bring me back
I've dipped my feet in the mud for too long.
Intent on escaping into the night of twenty-seven letters.

Tonight I will set sail, and no one but my loved one can bring me back
How would there be a promised land? I was just
Wishing to leave in the holiest hour
I forsake everything in my native land
I'd rather have a silent end

Tonight I will set sail, and nothing but this ship can bring me back
My burning heart cools as the anchor is weighed
The sailing ship weighs anchor as my heart cools.
