Many countries in the world unknown,
and thousands of secrets the ocean has
With new dreams, not knowing the barriers,
On my path fearlessly stay I, Sinbad.
Unfortunate Sinbad, you'll pass away from yearning,
Your last boat has broken to pieces...
Sail to the island of Serendib, hero,
And solve the mystery of the ancient stone.
A great reward will be waiting for you,
a pitcher of gold filled with your desires.
The path to Serendib is severe and far,
Where is a ship that would sail to the east?
Quick, to the harbor, not a minute to waste,
Hoist the sail, lift the anchor.
Hey, Captain, where are you going? Whereto do you take the ship?
Westwards, be my companion.
I'm headed in another direction.
Hey, Captain, where are you going? Whereto do you take the ship?
To the North, be my companion.
I'm headed in another direction.
I sail to the regions where the palaces reach the heavens,
There I'll find islands of unprecedented miracles.
- Take Sinbad to that country, where mystery, fairy tales and palaces are.
- We do not have any vacancies on the ship.
- Cast off!
Oh...
To the island of Serendib, the island of Serendib!
Poum, pa, poum, pa, to the island of Serendib! Poum, pa, poum, pa, to the island of Serendib!
Woe to us, woe! We have lost the course! To this magnetic rock our boat is carried!
The magnetic island threatened me with misfortune,
Gales and storms chased me around.
I did not give up, I did not die,
I'm sailing towards you, my Serendib!
...And solve the mystery of the ancient stone...
To solve the puzzle, you could...:
Frog, stork, fish, crab!
Frog...
Stork...
Fish...
Crab!
Uh... a stone, like the one before, is put on my path.
Nowhere to crawl for a fourth time, as a crab.
I'm a terrible Djinn! I will kill you!
Get ready to meet your death!
I can't believe it, Djinn,
that a pitcher could hold you!
I am almighty! - Look, Sinbad! I'll go into the pitcher, There are no barriers for me!
Yeah!!!! - Let me go... I vow to behave, to fulfill your every wish.
- Swear to me by the great oath of the Djinn,
then I'll free you from the jug!
What do you want? - Owning a caravan?
Carrying products over the deserted dunes?
Do you wish to be an all-powerful sultan,
living in a beautiful palace of gold?
I wish a ship, beautiful and slender!
To sail it upon the restless seas.
- Light as a bird, the ship flies!
I leave you, Serendib.
You gloomy rocks are left behind,
Again Sinbad sails out to the high seas.
The End of the first trip
