From the port of Tripoli
In the fading day
Bound for Lampedusa
She sailed away
There was standing room only
For three hundred souls
Out upon the waves
How many miles to Lampedusa?
How many miles to go?
How many miles to Lampedusa?
The sun is sinking low
She dreamed of her homeland
A sunrise ago
The cedar trees
And the lemon groves
The South wind was blowing
And the boat began to roll
Out upon the waves
How many miles to Lampedusa?
How many miles to go?
How many miles to Lampedusa?
The sun is sinking low
Now God is in heaven
The stars in the sky
The boat is listing
The water is high
The girl from Tripoli
With the island in her eyes
Lost amongst the waves
How many miles to Lampedusa?
How many miles to go?
How many miles to Lampedusa?
The sun is sinking low
In the fading day
Bound for Lampedusa
She sailed away
There was standing room only
For three hundred souls
Out upon the waves
How many miles to Lampedusa?
How many miles to go?
How many miles to Lampedusa?
The sun is sinking low
She dreamed of her homeland
A sunrise ago
The cedar trees
And the lemon groves
The South wind was blowing
And the boat began to roll
Out upon the waves
How many miles to Lampedusa?
How many miles to go?
How many miles to Lampedusa?
The sun is sinking low
Now God is in heaven
The stars in the sky
The boat is listing
The water is high
The girl from Tripoli
With the island in her eyes
Lost amongst the waves
How many miles to Lampedusa?
How many miles to go?
How many miles to Lampedusa?
The sun is sinking low
