Pedro, the Fisherman (Remastered 2014)

歌詞

Pedro, the fisherman was always whistling Such a merry call Girls who were passing by would hear him whistling By the harbour wall But his sweetheart, Nina, who Loved him true, always knew That his song belonged to her alone And in the evening When the lights were gleaming And they had to part As he sailed his boat away Echoing across the bay Came the tune that lingered in her heart But days of dreaming quickly pass and life goes rushing on And one day from the harbour wall, she found his boat had gone He'd sailed away to find the gold, the sea could never bring To buy a dress, a cuckoo clock, a saucepan and a ring She kept her eyes on the blue horizon, but he didn't return She stopped her sighing And left off crying But he didn't return One day her father said to her: "Oh dearest daughter mine You'll never make a lot from fish, you make much more from wine Tho' Miguel is rather fat, his vineyard's doing well So, marry him and let your dreams of Pedro go to hell!" The organ peals, the choir boys sing The priest is ready with the book and ring So small and white Here comes the bride And stands by the swarthy Miguel's side spoken: "Will you have this man to be Your lawful wedded spouse eternally?" And suddenly the church is still They wait to hear her say: "I will!" When through the open doorway there A far off sound disturbs the air Suddenly she found her man From the church out she ran There he was upon the harbour wall Down rushed the wedding guests upon The quayside, but the bride had gone As with love she sailed away Echoing across the bay Came the happy ending to her song
