Somewhere in the ocean
Subsists a land, a still pure place
It is told in legends
That this unknown island has been blessed
No map, no related tale
Prove its reality
All mysteries remain on
This mystic territory
Land at grazed relief
Carved by all celestial rains
As far as the eyes can see
Expanses of verdant plains
Steep cliffs and vertiginous mountains
Culminating beyond the skies
This natural sanctuary is preserved
Of chaos of mankind
*
Beyond the horizon, beyond the sky
At the middle of thousand floods
A paradise of life
Will be soon our new island
*
Ancient haven of peace
Mystic creatures in harmony
Carry a kind look to this
So fragile unity
Maternal and nourishing land
Sufficient for its existence
Has a wish to preserve, alone,
Its purity, its innocence
*
Beyond the horizon, beyond the sky
At the middle of thousand floods
A paradise of life
Will be soon our new island
