We Sold Our Homesteads - Falconer[00:00:01]
We sold our homesteads and started on our way[00:00:12]
Just like the birds will fly when autumn is here to stay[00:00:18]
One day they will return[00:00:24]
Come spring again that's when[00:00:26]
But we will never see our native country again[00:00:30]
At first we traveled through the English countryside[00:00:36]
On tracks and on wagons[00:00:42]
As quickly as birds would fly[00:00:45]
It was a lovely sight to see the land at last[00:00:47]
But all the glorious sights kept flashing by too fast[00:00:54]
The glorious sights kept flashing by too fast[00:01:00]
And later when we came to Liverpudlian bay[00:01:16]
The tears of regret finally started to have their say[00:01:22]
The hearts then started burning in each and everyone[00:01:28]
We only talked of Sweden that used to be our home[00:01:34]
We all were packed together in one unhealthy cave[00:01:40]
It was as if we'd stepped into an open grave[00:01:46]
The food that we had brought from blessed Swedish land[00:01:52]
Was suddenly forbidden and taken from our hand[00:01:58]
It was forbidden and taken from our hand[00:02:04]
And when we had been sailing for just a week or two[00:02:57]
A horrid kind of darkness was clouding our view[00:03:03]
We couldn't see each other and hardly breathe or walk[00:03:09]
It was a gruesome anguish for all people aboard[00:03:15]
The air was filled with hunger and drenched in wretched cries[00:03:21]
The howling and the noises would pierce right through the skies[00:03:27]
And death became the ruler that forced us to our knees[00:03:33]
The dead were buried in the horrid fathom of the seas[00:03:38]
They were buried in the fathom of the seas[00:03:45]
