There in the distance are the lights of St Thomas
Di kejauhan ada cahaya St. Thomas
Calling him back to that moment in time
Memanggilnya kembali ke momen itu
There in the harbor, he remembers the promise
Di pelabuhan itu, dia ingat janji yang diucapkan
Forever seemed honest, deep in their eyes
Selamanya terasa tulus, dalam tatapan mereka

That night on the island, under the moonlight,
Malam itu di pulau, di bawah sinar bulan,
With the sound of the sea playing soft on the wind
Dengan suara laut yang lembut mengalun di angin
They shared all their dreams and planned for their future
Mereka berbagi semua impian dan merencanakan masa depan
And looked to the day they’d be together again
Dan menanti hari di mana mereka akan bersama lagi

So that night he set sail into the darkness
Malam itu dia berlayar ke dalam kegelapan
She said she’d be waiting there on the shore,
Dia bilang dia akan menunggu di tepi pantai,
She said the light from her lantern each night would be burning
Dia bilang cahaya dari lentera setiap malam akan menyala
Until he was anchored home safe in the port…
Sampai dia berlabuh dengan selamat di pelabuhan…

But life can be cruel and fate was misleading
Tapi hidup bisa kejam dan nasib sering menipu
Destiny took him so far away,
Takdir membawanya jauh sekali,
By the time he returned she no longer was waiting
Saat dia kembali, dia sudah tak menunggu lagi
For it seemed he had broken the promise he made…
Karena sepertinya dia telah melanggar janji yang dia buat…

They say every day she’d go down to the harbor
Katanya setiap hari dia pergi ke pelabuhan
And scan the horizon and await his return
Mencari di cakrawala dan menunggu kepulangannya
But the years took their toll and one day she just vanished
Tapi tahun-tahun berlalu dan suatu hari dia menghilang
Some say at night her lantern still burns…..
Beberapa orang bilang di malam hari lentera itu masih menyala…..

So he searches the islands the ports and the beaches
Jadi dia mencari di pulau-pulau, pelabuhan, dan pantai
He hopes one day to find her again
Dia berharap suatu hari bisa menemukan dia lagi
Now he’s a lonely old sailor with the pain of a memory
Sekarang dia seorang pelaut tua yang kesepian dengan rasa sakit kenangan
Of a love and a life and a promise not kept…
Tentang cinta dan kehidupan serta janji yang tidak ditepati…

I can see in the distance the lights of St Thomas
Aku bisa melihat di kejauhan cahaya St. Thomas
Calling me back to that moment in time
Memanggilku kembali ke momen itu
It was here in the harbor I made her that promise
Di sinilah di pelabuhan aku mengucapkan janji itu padanya
That I would return and make her my wife
Bahwa aku akan kembali dan menjadikannya istriku

And in the distance I see the lights of St Thomas
Dan di kejauhan aku melihat cahaya St. Thomas
