lyrics

Magellan’s desperate,
The boat has left,
He stayed on the land,
Where he got ejected !

So he drinks in a tavern,
He drinks what he has left,
Stuck in a slice of earth,
On which he used to be famous,

He watches his ship going on,
Further and further again,
But he can’t swim fast enough,
To prove he can deserve it !

So he drinks in a tavern,
He drinks what he has left,
Stuck in a slice of earth,
On which he used to be famous,

He was proposed other ships,
Other teams and other purposes,
But they ain’t worth the big fish,
He used to belong !

So he drinks in a tavern,
He drinks what he has left,
Stuck in a slice of earth,
On which he used to be famous,

He knows he’ll be the captain, of another ship eventually,
But he has to be certain,
This one has gone for real !

My boat has gone,
And I don’t want another one,
Far in the open sea,
Where I can not see !
