Coromandal FishersRise ,brothers , rise ,the wakening skies pray tothe morning light,The wind lies asleep in the arms of the dawnlike a child that has cried all night.

Come let us gather our nets from the shore , andset our catamarans free,To capture the leaping wealth of the tide , forwe are the sons of sea!

No longer delay , let us hasten away in the trackof the seagull’s call ,The sea is our mother , the cloud is our brother ,the waves are our comrades all.

What though we toss at the fall of the sun wherethe hand of the sea god drives ?He who holds the storm by the hair , will hide inhis breast our lives.

Sweet is the shade of the coconut glade ,and thescent of the mango grove ,And sweet are the sands at the full o’ the moonwith the sound of the voices we love.

But sweeter , O brothers , the kiss of the sprayand the dance of the wild foam’s glee ;Row , brothers ,row to the blue of the verge ,

where the low sky mates with the sea.
