Текст песни Or So I Surmised (Theo Jacobsen) с переводом

In the great plains of Africa I am a strand

In my search for the source of the Nile

My two brave companions meet grievous ends

This place takes the best men first, oh it must

Stare long enough into moonlit waters

And you’ll see your skeleton

But look past yourself and you’ll find upon the lake

A million stars to light the way

Three days in the jungle

I’m just trying to survive

Eating bugs, anything I can find

When a beast, black and fearsome

Descended from the vines

With teeth of a tiger, looked like a demon of man

Or so I surmised

Stare long enough into moonlit waters

And you’ll see your skeleton

But look past yourself and you’ll find upon the lake

A million stars to light the way

I know the answers I seek I might never find

But the questions I have never leave my mind

Behold life in its desperation

I look unto the constellations

Moonlight lines a path to the mountain

From the night sky came lightning, flood and flame

Now I know what’s at stake

Stare long enough into moonlit waters

And you’ll see your skeleton

But look past yourself and you’ll find beyond the lake

A million stars to light the way

If they ask, tell them I was brave

That somehow I found a way

Through the depths of the wild

To the heart of the Nile

The heart of the Nile
