Ships stay for a while, and go back on their lanes,
But return once again, even through the worst weather...
Half a year won’t pass, before I will come again,
Again to leave for half a year after a brief time together.

Everyone would come back, except for the best friends,
Except for the women most loyal and blessed,
Except for the most needed, all return in the end...
I don’t believe in fate and I believe in myself even less.

But I’d like to believe that this isn’t all true,
That the fashion for ship-burning will soon end here.
With friends and with works, I will come back to you,
And of course I will sing, in less than half a year.
