I am a mermaid in love with a man
|
So I was punished, my tongue was cut off
|
I can sing no more but I talk with tears
|
Pain fills my heart drown in fear.
|
|
I spend my time gazing at ships passing by
|
Looking for my beloved among the crew
|
I swim towards him 'till he looks at me
|
Hoping he will guess my desire.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
If I only could sing
|
I would have his heart
|
In my hand.
|
|
He would be caught
|
In the spell
|
Cast by my melody.
|
|
[Bridge]
|
(but) I'm a silent Mermaid
|
I'm mute forevermore
|
Even if I weep
|
I wont be heard.
|
|
I am eager to save from a wreck
|
My dear sailor to be close to him
|
In a tight embrace we will reach the shore
|
I will not let him leave me alone.
|
|
It's hard to remember how long I have been
|
Waiting for my lucky day to come
|
Though I have no voice
|
My lips hope to kiss
|
And my heart is filled
|
|
