The Little Maiden of the Sea |
| The little maiden of the sea |
| Was not at all like you and me |
| Where we have legs she was a fish |
| And she could only say |
| «I wish |
| I wish I were not incomplete |
| I wish I had some dainty feet» |
| You see, one day she’d met a prince |
| And she’d been pining ever since |
| (The little maiden of the sea) |
| She’d gain her own immortal soul |
| If she became the prince’s wife |
| She auto vivisected |
| Whole, she walked |
| Each step was like a knife |
| A knife into her dainty feet |
| And she could neither speak nor sing |
| But surely, now she was complete |
| Her prince would think of marrying |
| The little maiden of the sea |
| He married someone else, of course |
| And saying nothing, she went home |
| Then something turned by mystic force |
| The little maiden into foam |
