The Fisher Maiden
English source:
Jeremy Sams
You lovely fisher maiden
Row over here to land
We can sit and talk by the seashore
And you can take my hand
We can sit and talk by the seashore
And you can take my hand
Yes you can take my hand
You’ll lay your head on my shoulder
And gaze at the restless sea
You’ve steered through tide and tempest
What can you fear from me?
You steer through tide and tempest
What can you fear from me?
My heart is like the ocean
With wave and wind and tide
And many secret treasures
Are lurking deep inside
And many secret treasures
Are lurking deep inside
Row over here to land
We can sit and talk by the seashore
And you can take my hand
We can sit and talk by the seashore
And you can take my hand
Yes you can take my hand
You’ll lay your head on my shoulder
And gaze at the restless sea
You’ve steered through tide and tempest
What can you fear from me?
You steer through tide and tempest
What can you fear from me?
My heart is like the ocean
With wave and wind and tide
And many secret treasures
Are lurking deep inside
And many secret treasures
Are lurking deep inside
