The first time that I've crossed the seas,
I sailed a boat made from a tree,
with fruits of silver and leafs of gold,
and so I've left her in the cold...

NO, NO, NO, NO!
She couldn't see me getting old!

NO, NO, NO, NO!
NO, NO, NO, NO!

The first night that I've spent alone,
I learned the seas were now my home,
And then a mermaid came to say:
"Never get back to the bay"...

HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY!
I stayed there for a hundred days!

HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY!
HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY!

((SOLO))

But I began to miss the land,
I wished to put my feet on sand,
I missed the people humming songs,
And rushed to see my girl at home...

LONG, LONG, LONG, LONG!
...time I knew, I've done her wrong,

LONG, LONG, LONG, LONG!
LONG, LONG, LONG, LONG!

I went back to the house I've had,
Just to find my baby dead,
While I was aging in the seas
She hung herself up in a tree...
