Seven Songs for a Beloved in Vigo – II
  • Word came today:
  • my friend's on his way,
  • and I'm going, mother, to Vigo.
  • Today came the tidings:
  • my friend is arriving,
  • and I'm going, mother, to Vigo.
  • My friend's on his way
  • and is alive and well,
  • and I'm going, mother, to Vigo.
  • My friend is arriving
  • and is well and alive,
  • and I'm going, mother, to Vigo.
  • He's alive and well
  • and is the king's friend,
  • and I'm going, mother, to Vigo.
  • He's well and alive
  • and is the king's ally,
  • and I'm going, mother, to Vigo.
