Homeward to the snow-capped mountains
Rising from the sea
Homeward to the land I love
Where Kari waits for me
Kari waits for me at home
Oh, Kari waits for me
I see her standing there
Beside the restless sea
Kari waits for me at home
Though I must sail the sea
I'm a sailor born to roam
While Kari waits for me
Many girls in far off lands
Have many charms to see
They'll not wear my golden bands
While Kari waits for me
Let me ride the homeward winds
That carry me to shore
Till the day when I can hold my Kari
Kari, once more
Blow, you trade winds, fill the sails
Oh blow, you trade winds, blow
Blow through the stormy gales
And homeward we will go
Homeward to the snow-capped mountains
Rising from the sea
Homeward to the land I love
Where Kari waits for me
Blow, you trade winds, fill the sails
Oh blow, you trade winds, blow
Blow through the stormy gales
And homeward we will go
Homeward to the snow-capped mountains
Rising from the sea
Homeward to the land I love
Where Kari waits for me
Kari waits for me!
