In the year of thirty-nine
Assembled here the volunteers
In the days when lands were few
Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
The sweetest sight ever seen
And the night followed day
And the story tellers say
That the score brave souls inside
For many a lonely day
Sailed across the milky seas
[Never looked back never feared never cried]

[Never looked back never feared never cried]
[Don't you hear my call]
Though you're many years away
[Don't you hear me calling you]
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I'll take your hand
In the land that our grand-children knew
Though you're many years away
[Don't you hear me calling you]
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I'll take your hand
In the land that our grand-children knew
In the year of thirty-nine
Came a ship in from the blue
The volunteers came home that day
And they bring good news
Of a world so newly born
Though their hearts so heavily weigh
For the earth is old and grey
Little darlin' we'll away
But my love this cannot be
Oh so many years have gone
Though I'm older but a year
Your mothers eyes from your eyes cry to me

For the day I'll take your hand
In the land that our grand-children knew
[Don't you hear my call
Though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you]
All your letters in the sand
Cannot heal me like your hand
For my life still ahead pity me.
Though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you]
All your letters in the sand
Cannot heal me like your hand
For my life still ahead pity me.

'39 godine
Okupili su se dobrovoljci
U danima kada je pristaništa bilo malo
Jedne sunčane zore plovio je brod kroz plavu svetlost*
To je bio najlepši prizor koji sam ikad video
Noći su sledile dane
Pričale su se priče
Da su mnoge hrabre duše bile u njima
U mnogim usamljenim danima
Plovile kroz nebo koji je svetucao ko pena*
[Nikad se nisu osvrćali, nikad plašili, nikad plakali]
[Zar ne čujete kako Vas dozivam
I ako ste godinama daleko od nas
zar nas ne čujete kako Vas dozivam]
Napišite nam poruke na pesku
Za dane kad ću Vas držati ruke
Na zemlji da bi nas naši unuci pamtili
'39 godine
Uplovio je brod iz plavog neba
Dobrovoljci su otišli tog dana
Nosili su dobre vesti
Sa novog sveta koji se rađa
I ako su njihova srca patila
Za svet koji će biti sed i star
Naše drage ljubavi odlazimo daleko
Al moje ljubavi ovo ne može biti
Mnogo će godina proći
A ja ću biti za godinu stariji
Vaše drage maternje oči izazivaće plač u meni
[Zar ne čujete kako Vas dozivam
I ako ste godinama daleko od nas
zar nas ne čujete kako Vas dozivam]
Napišite nam poruke na pesku
Za dane kad ću Vas držati ruke
Na zemlji da bi nas naši unuci pamtili
[Zar ne čujete kako Vas dozivam
I ako ste godinama daleko od nas
zar nas ne čujete kako Vas dozivam]
I Vaše poruke na pesku
Ne mogu dušu da mi izleče kao Vaše ruke
Moja duša još uvek pati
