Lines Loose (Song)

Part of Folk Songs of Juhnvechteya 
Lines Loose is a traditional folk song originating from the sailors of Tanderland. There are many variations, but most deal with the summer voyages made by Tandisch ships to the distant port of Agan. The variations are mainly found on other trade-routes, and there are other songs set to the melody in other languages. The version below was recorded by Houort van der Liien, a Tandisch folklorist. 
The salty wind is the air of my kin 
Lines loose! Full sail for Tanderland! 
I have no gold but I’m on my way home 
Now we cross the seas to Tanderland!
The voyage is long and we’ve a ways to go
Sail high! Full sail for Tanderland!
Around the cape of Kinros-Hill,
Across the seas to Tanderland!
The seas are rough and they batter us hard
Stand fast! Full sail for Tanderland!
The water’s cold chills me to my bones!
As we cross the seas to Tanderland!
We find ourselves in the northern seas
Heave to! Full sail for Tanderland!
We call at the port of Agany
As we cross the seas to Tanderland!
We bid the maidens there goodbye
Heave her up! Full sail for Tanderland!
Our hold is full and our moods are light
As we cross the seas to Tanderland!
We now prepare for our return
Lines loose! Full sail for Tanderland!
Our minds drift to our old home
As we cross the seas to Tanderland!
