Two little sisters gazing at the sea,
|
Imagining what their futures will be.
|
|
The older one says, as her eyes look around,
|
"I will go as far as the corners of the town.
|
I'll plant a little garden, flowers everywhere.
|
And pluck the most fragrant for my hair."

|
Two little sisters gazing at the sea,
|
Imagining what their futures will be.
|
|
The younger one stands with her eyes open wide.
|
And says, "I'll go as far as the corners of the sky.
|
I'll gather all the stars each night as they appear,
|
And pick the very brightest one to wear in my ear."
|
|
I didn't choose you and you didn't choose me.
|
I didn't choose you, who would guess we're from the same family?
|
|
But, what will you do when the nights get cold?
|
When the stars grow dim and your dreams seem old.
|
Watcha gonna do when winter calls,
|
And your flowers fall from the garden walls?
|
|
I'll come home to you, you'll come home to me.
|
My love will be your remedy.
|
I'll choose you and you'll choose me.
|
We'll be two daughters dancing by the edge of the sea.
