Here one can hear the call of the sea
While a deadwhite moonlight
Is creating the ultimate unlight

Or at night, or at night...
O sad and beautiful night
Full of melancholy

When the silent dark waters
Are inviting the lonely souls
Of mounting lost ones... like me

Of mounting lost ones... like me
Here once I could hear the bell toll
Here once I led a life

My home was build... before the cruel
Water came
May be the death fish washed on the shore

With their cold eyes have catched a
Glimp - a glimp..
Of my forever lost village

Do I hear my ancestors call:
Oh beautiful and cruel lost,
Forever lost - dark medieval times

Drowned land of saeftinge -
Drowned land of saeftinge
Here once I could hear the bell toll,

Here once I
Had a life, my home was build...
Here one can hear the call of the sea

Oh my drowned land
Mijn verdronken land van saeftinge...
Saeftinge - saeftinge - saeftinge

Forever lost, forever lost...
