大航海時代 - 高中正義 (たかなか まさよし)
Lyrics by:Chris Mosdell
Composed by:高中正義
On landing thinking America was Asia
Christopher Columbus sent messengers with greetings to the Great Khan emperor of China
Naturally the greetings were never returned
This was the first and last time the West was mistaken for the East
Wind and wave
Wind and wave
Wind and wave
In the sails
(The men of fire and steel)
Sailing blind
Sailing blind
(With sea in their blood)
Three thousand miles
Three thousand miles
(And wild wings and tigers in their sails)
Wind and wave
Wind and wave
Wind and wave
In the sails
Are hunters of the lands of gold
Rolling where the waves unfold
Wind and wave
Wind and wave
(With maps of wind and waves)
Wind and wave
In the sails
(They're reading the stars)
Sailing blind
Sailing blind
(O sailing between the sea and the open skies)
Three thousand miles
Three thousand miles
Wind and wave
In the sails
"Sail on by Starlight"
"Sail on"
Wind and wave
Wind and wave
Wind and wave
In the sails
Sailing blind
Sailing blind
Three thousand miles
Three thousand miles
With a letter for the Great Khan
Greetings he did not return
For the words were just like burning boats
Going up going up in smoke
"Sail on by Starlight"
"Sail on by Starlight"
"Sail on by Starlight"
