Lyrics

Youkali

( translation by susan grayson )

Wandering at the will of the sea
My vagabond bark
Led me to the end of the world
It's quite a small island
But the sprite who dwells there
Politely invites us
To tour it

Youkali
Is the land of our desires
Youkali
It means happiness and pleasure;
Youkali
It is the land where we leave cares behind
It is the beacon in our clouded night
The star we follow
It's youkali

And life drags us along
Tedious & banal
Yet the poor human soul
Seeking oblivion everywhere
Knew how, in leaving this earth
To find the mystery
Where our dreams are buried
In some youkali
Youkali
Is the land of our desires
Youkali
It means happiness and pleasure;
Youkali
It is the land where we leave cares behind
It is the beacon in our clouded night
The star we follow
It's youkali, it's youkali, it's youkali
