No more do I see the starlight caress your hair
No more feel the tender kisses we used to share
I close my eyes and clearly my heart remembers
A thousand good-byes could never put out the embers
Darling I love you so and my heart forever
Will belong to the memory of the love that we knew before
Please come back to my arms, we belong together
Come to me let's be sweethearts again and then let us part no more.
No more do I feel the touch of your hand on mine
No more see the lovelight making your dark eyes shine
Oh how I wish I never had caused you sorrow
But don't ever say for us there is no tomorrow
Darling I love you so and my heart forever
Will belong to the memory of the love that we knew before
Please come back to my arms, we belong together
Come to me let's be sweethearts again and then let us part no more.
Version 2 :
The day that I left my home for the rolling
sea
I said "Mother dear, Oh, pray to thy God for me."
And ere we
sailed I went fond leave to take
Of Niņa, who wept as if her poor heart
would break.
Niņa, if I should die and o'er oceans foam,
Softly a
white dove on a fair eve should come.
Open thy lattice, dearest, for it
will be,
My faithful soul that loving comes back to thee!
Oh! a life on the sea!
Singing joyous and
free,
Oh! we're going
None are so gay as
we!
And when I come home from Niņa to part no more,
Adieu
to the ship where often with changing mind
I've laughed and I've wept
as veer'd the light changing wind.
The comes the day, the happy and
blessed day,
Chasing all sadness, sorrow and care away.
Niņa so
fair, all smiles will be by my side!
Niņa so dear, will be my own
blushing bride. |
