Looking out forward over the prow of our long ship
Pulling our oars and listening to the foam
Helmets and sheepskins salt and damp in the sea-mist
We're going home
Aslak of Langdale, Einar Thorgeirsson
Olaf the White and Sigurd the Powerful
Looking for constellations above the horizon
West wind cutting sharper than our blades
Smiling forever into an endless sunrise
We're flying on the waves
Thorfin Karlsefny, Aud the Deep-Minded
Snorri Thorbrandsson, Thorstein the Black
Out of dark Vinland, with grey waves racing before us
We want no rest
Back to the homeland, Iceland, sleeping in winter
Back from the West
Five years we roam
Now we're going home
