«John Riley» − «Iernis»

Iernis - Album: «Beyond a far-off shore».

Fair young maid all in her garden,
strange young man passer-by,
he said: «Fair maid, will you marry me?».
This answer then was her reply:

‒ Οh, no, kind sir, i cannot marry thee,
for I've a love and he sails the sea.
Though he's been gone for seven years,
still no man shall marry me.

‒ What if he's in some battle slain
or if he's drowned in the deep salt sea?
What if he's found another love
and he and his love both married be?

‒ Well, if he's in some battle slain
i will die when the moon doth wane.
And if he's drowned in the deep salt sea,
then i'll be true to his memory.

And if he's found another love
and he and his love both married be,
i wish them health and happiness,
where they dwell across the sea.

He pickes her up in his arms so strong
and kisses gave her: One, two, three.
‒ Say weep no more, my own true love,
for i'm your long-lost John Riley!
