lankum - the sea captain كلمات أغنية

[chorus]
oh green, it grows‚ the laurel
and soft‚ it falls‚ the dew
i am sorry my true lover
forever parted from you

[verse 1]
oh once, there lived a captain
who was born all out to sea
and before that he was married
he was sent far away

oh, but when‚ that he returned
to her father, he did go
“is your daughter inside, sir?
can i see her once more?”

[chorus]

[verse 2]
“oh my daughter is not here‚ sir
she left us here last night
she has gone to some nunnery”
was the old man’s reply

he went on to this nunnery
and he knocked all at the door
out comes the reverend mother
and she [?]

saying “your true love is not here, sir
she left us here last night
she has gone to the asylum
where she’s fractured in mind”

[chorus]

[verse 3]
he went on to the asylum
where he got a hard surprise
and the answer that they gave him
was she died here last night

“oh let me in”, said the captain
“let me in”, the captain cried
“let me in, until i see her
and i’ll die by her side”

[chorus]

[verse 4]
for he stood all at her left side
and a sharpened sword he drew
he stood to great attention
and he pierced his heart through

oh sad it was the [?]
and hard it was to [?]
to see two loyal lovers
lying dead on the floor

[chorus] x 2
