The Greenland shark
five hundred years old
isolated from mankind
deep down
in the bottom of the sea
Half dead
half blind
parasites in its eyes
it's been there for ages
unaware of what's going on up here
Occasionally rising to the surface
to grab a bite
a sea lion
or a polar bear
Slowly moving
up the Iberian coast
passing the Scottish Islands
towards the colder waters of Greenland
And he sings:
Let's all go to Greenland
let's all go
It's been here for ages
since medieval times
It moves slowly in the dark
not caring a bit about human life
It wont tell it's secrets
it's silent and big
unaware of our problems
alone in the dark
He sings:
Let's all go to Greenland
let's all go
let's all go to Greenland
let's all go
Life is good in Greenland
life is good for me
life is good in Greenland
life is good for you
Wanna go
take me there
wanna go
take me there
wanna go
take me there
wanna go
Life is good in Greenland
we all should
respect it and let it be
the Greenland shark
has lived there for centuries
happy and free
deep down below the sea
Let the old shark swim
in oceans so clear and blue
greet our big friend
Skalugsuak
why can't we
all learn how to live in peace
all god's creatures
perfect in harmony
perfect in harmony
perfect in harmony
perfect in harmony
