Dar harbour full of teeming life A mass of colourful ships and boats Radiant do your waters gleam
Each wave gently lapping the shore Sails fluttering in the breeze
Slowly yet violently the yachts jib As they sail and tack against the wind Loud blast out the ships horns As the tugs pilot them to sea or dock And the gulls screech diving in their wakes Many colourful dhows sail in to moor
Hot breezes on my face As midday temperatures soar Raising our sails we float Bringing our bows into the wind Out to sea we are headed Under full sail we skim the waves Ready for what ever adventures await
