Sidste Reis
 (Sung text for setting by E. Alnæs)
 Matches base text
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål) 
Nu sidste reis mig forestaar.
—  Sing, sailor, oh! 
Afsted til himlen farten gaar. 
—  Sing, sailor, oh! 
Snart rinder ud det sidste glas. 
—  Sing, sailor, oh! 
Se nøje efter dit kompas! 
—  Sing, sailor, oh! 

Med strande af demant og guld 
—  Sing, sailor, oh! 
er himlens hav af øer fuldt. 
—  Sing, sailor, oh! 
Det er de stjerner, klare, smaa, 
—  Sing, sailor, oh! 
som du paa nattevagten saa. 
—  Sing, sailor, oh! 

Frisk an da, modig til lad staa,
—  Sing, sailor, oh! 
igjennem sky op i det blaa 
—  Sing, sailor, oh! 
Frygt ei for djævelens korsar! 
—  Sing, sailor, oh! 
Du gaar ham ganske sikkert klar. 
—  Sing, sailor, oh! 

Du møder viv, du møder ven, 
—  Sing, sailor, oh! 
du møder dine børn igjen. 
—  Sing, sailor, oh! 
Da bryder større glæde løs, 
—  Sing, sailor, oh! 
end naar du her kom hjem frasjøs. 
—  Sing, sailor, oh!
