The interminably long hypnotic voyage of the Spanish galleons across the ocean, which is often frozen, and which sometimes can be traversed through the air when the galleon opens its peacock wings. 

The aurora australis, the wafting of the song of the captain's daughter wondering if he loves her, since he's been gone so long and now he's gone again, for so long, so long. He's on the harrowing, death defying trip to support his daughter, though she hasn't developed the maturity to fully understand that. But will he bring her a crystal replica of the galleon as a token of his affection, so she can believe he loves her?

The men all nearly die, embedded in ice on their trip for unspeakable purposes. 

When the tattered fleet pulls into the marina, the daughter waits for the crystal galleon. When she sees he has it, she believes he loves her after all.
Lyrics that are distinguishable:

Ah ooo 
Papa's little girl loves crystal galleons,
Vases and plates and chandeliers.
Papa, can you bring me a crystal galleon,
Or otherwise I'll break down in tears.

How do I know if you love me?
Because you were gone for years.

Papa's little girl loves crystal galleons,
Vases and plates and chandeliers.
Papa, can you bring me a crystal galleon,
Or otherwise I'll break down in tears.
Ah
