Sing For Me |
| Sing for me, my daughter, sing for me |
| When I’m away you’ll be the siren that will finally lead me home |
| The girl around her father throws her arms to make him stay: |
| «My daddy dear it hails, it blows; |
| you cannot go today!» |
| Sing for me, my daughter, sing for me |
| When I’m away you’ll be the siren that will finally lead me home |
| The April mud was on his boots, a' clinging through the fields |
| And desperate it send up its shoots-but at water’s edge it yields |
| Sing for me, my daughter, sing for me |
| When I’m away you’ll be the siren that will finally lead me home |
| The waves were pounding the dock; |
| the pillars creak and growl |
| The shoreman loading up the stock; |
| the gulls were crying foul |
| Sing for me, my daughter, sing for me |
| When I’m away you’ll be the siren that will finally lead me home |
| The father called up to the ship, «You need an extra hand?» |
| «Ah yes, for just a little trip: one month be back at land.» |
| The rain had stirred the sea too well; |
| the salt poured on the deck |
| At last the captain rang the bell: they ship was left to wreck |
| Sing for me, my daughter, sing for me |
| When I’m away you’ll be the siren that will finally lead me home |
| It calm but now the fog if thick: so which way should they head? |
| The rest knew not and they must be quick-so father softly said: |
| Sing for me, my daughter, sing for me |
| When I’m away you’ll be the siren that will finally lead me home |
