I am the captain and I have been told
   That tomorrow we land and my ship has been sold
   Now losing this boat is worth scarce a mention
   I think of the crew, most of all the first ensign
   For all we learned the sea
  
   Guiding a ship, it takes more than your skill
   It's the compass inside it's the strength of your will
   The first ensign watched as tempests all tried me
   I sang in the wind as if God were beside me
   For all we learned the sea
  
   You take the wheel one more time like I showed you
   We've reached the strait once even I could not go through
  
   I am the captain and I have been told
   But I am not shaken, I am eight years old
   And you are still young, but you'll understand
   That the stars of the sea are the same for the land
   And we came to learn the sea
