To Coroico

Carl Cleves

Two princes travelled on a quest
Into the wide, wide world
Always together, hand in hand
Two princes travelled on a quest

There lives a giant on a mountaintop
A turtle gives advice
There lies a treasure for the taking
All for the one who tries

We started out on the road to anywhere
The time has come. We are almost there
The night was long, the crossing deep and wide
Our eyes upon the shore on the other side

We bought provisions from a farmer
Coroico was the name of the Grail
First there were signs, then there were warnings
We found an old map pointing out a trail

From the Valley of the Moon to Coroico
Through the mighty magic jungle (to Coroico)
The Altiplano in the snow (to Coroico)
The crack of dawn the ship will go

In the sky seagulls waving
Fishes smile, waves are breaking
You put your trust in the captain of the ship

We started out on the road to anywhere
The time has come. We are almost there
The night was long, the crossing deep and wide
Our eyes upon the shore on the other side

In a circus tent in Santiago
They kept a woman in a cage
And as the crowd stood watching
She turned into an ape, jumped from the stage

From the Valley of the Moon to Coroico
Through the mighty magic jungle (to Coroico)
The Altiplano in the snow (to Coroico)
The crack of dawn the ship will go

Two princes travelled on a quest
Into the wide, wide world
Always together, hand in hand
A roof, the sky, a bed, goodbye,
A friend, a cry, always you and I
