Lyrics
The islander slips into hiding
The islander retreats and conceals himself
And takes to his heels
He quickly leaves the area
Out of dark Northland
Leaving the dark Northland region
The murky house of Sara
Escaping the obscure dwelling of Sara
He whirled out of doors as snow
Swiftly moving outdoors like snow
Arrives as smoke in the yard
His departure is as subtle as smoke in the yard
To flee from bad deeds
Attempting to avoid the consequences of wrongdoings
There he had to become someone else
He finds the need to assume a different identity
He must change his shape
He is compelled to transform his appearance
As an eagle he swept up
Like an eagle, he ascends rapidly
Wanted to soar heavenward
His desire is to ascend towards the heavens
The sun burnt his cheeks
The sun's rays burn his cheeks
The moon lit his brows
The moon illuminates his brows
Wanted to soar heavenward
Reiteration of the yearning to ascend towards the heavens
The sun burnt his cheeks
The sun's rays continue to burn his cheeks
The moon lit his brows
The moon continues to illuminate his brows
The islander slips into hiding
Repeating the theme of the islander concealing himself
And takes to his heels
Again, he swiftly departs from the scene
Out of dark Northland
Leaving the dark Northland region once more
The murky house of Sara
Escaping the murky house of Sara again
