Song for an Unreturned Sailor
- Mother, I have seen
- the ships in from sea,
- and I'm dying of love.
- Mother, I watched as
- the ships weighed in,
- and I'm dying of love.
- The ships in from sea,
- I went to meet them,
- and I'm dying of love.
- The ships weighed in,
- I went and I waited,
- and I'm dying of love.
- I went to meet them
- but I could not see him,
- and I'm dying of love.
- I went and I waited
- but I saw him nowhere,
- and I'm dying of love.
- I could not see him
- who brought me this suffering,
- and I'm dying of love.
[English version by Richard Zenith]
