My daughter, oh my beloved
my daughter, oh my beloved
don't throw yourself into the sea
don't throw yourself into the sea.
My daughter...
The sea is unforgiving,
the sea is unforgiving,
it will carry you away
it will carry you away.
My daughter
my daughter
my daughter
my daughter.
Let it carry me away, oh let it drown me
let it carry me away, oh let it drown me
down seven fathoms deep
down seven fathoms deep.
My daughter
my daughter
my daughter
my daughter.
Let a black fish swallow me
let a black fish swallow me
to save me from love,
to save me from love.
My daughter
my daughter
my daughter
my daughter.
