Текст песни Лайма Вайкуле - Огоньки

I lived in peace and did not know troubles
I loved to go to the ballet on Saturdays
But one day in a dark room right in front of me
Your white jacket has covered the stage

Very different elements, sea and ballet
Captain esthete paved the fairway for me
At that time I did not know about the longing
The sea in the life of the captain is the main love

Chorus:
Lights on a white liner
Carried you out of the harbor
You knew about everything in advance
Sea captain

I have not fallen out of love with ballet, just all the same
I got tired of sea anguish and went to the cinema
On the screen, the white liner raced the sky
The blue jacket on the pilot broke my heart

Chorus.

White tunic, blue tunic are too good
Better something earthly for my soul
The color is green and the stripes are the correct signal
Only the general will replace the captain

Chorus (x2)
