What Does the Deep Sea Say |
| She stood on the beach alone |
| And gazed at the misty blue |
| Saying, «Sea, as you hold him to your breast |
| Does he mention my name to you?» |
| Oh, where is my sailor boy? |
| Where is my sailor boy? |
| He sleeps at the bottom of the deep blue sea |
| And he can’t come back to me |
| Oh, what does the deep sea say? |
| What does the deep sea say? |
| It moans, it groans |
| It splashes and it foams |
| And it rolls on its weary way |
| Oh please tell me deep blue sea |
| Is he sleeping peacefully |
| For the winds from the North |
| Are blowing icy cold |
| Can you keep him warm for me? |
| If only my grieving soul |
| Some token of love should find |
| If only the waves could show me where he sleeps |
| Then I’d leave this world behind |
| Oh, what does the deep sea say? |
| What does the deep sea say? |
| It moans, it groans |
| It crashes and it foams |
| And it rolls on its weary way |
| A beautiful rose one day |
| I placed on the crest of a wave |
| And I said take it please |
| And let it settle home |
| Upon his watery grave |
| The driftwood I’ve watched in vain |
| And my rose never came back again |
| So waves take another |
| Message to my love |
| Tell him I’ll meet him above |
| Oh, what does the deep sea say? |
| What does the deep sea say? |
| It guards and keeps |
| My lover where he sleeps |
| And it rolls on its weary way |
