I wish I was away in Ingo |
|
Far across the briny sea |
|
Sailing over deepest waters |
|
Where love nor care ne'er trouble me |
|
And I knew you were of water |
|
As my son was forged from earth |
|
And I knew Ingo would draw you |
|
For it's called you since your birth |
|
And although the great sea moves you |
|
When the tide is high and the moon is low |
|
Don't forget me, oh my daughter |
|
I regret, my only daughter, |
|
That I cannot let you go |
|
I cannot let you go |
|
Though the sea tastes sweetly on your lips |
|
though the sea tastes sweet |
|
And your hair a tangled mess |
|
and your hair ?? |
|
Though you hear your father's voice at night |
|
"come away with me, my child |
|
As you try to lie at rest |
|
"come away, away" |
|
Cruel Ingo holds it captive |
|
Just like your heart, my child |
|
Don't you listen, oh my daughter, |
|
I regret, my only daughter, |
|
He was drawn to waves so wild, |
|
Drawn to waves |
|
We have tried to keep you grounded |
|
With the oak and berries sweet |
|
Charms to bind you to this land, |
|
To the roots beneath your feet |
|
I would risk it all to save you, |
|
From the life the sea demands |
|
But I cannot step beyond these shores, |
|
Cannot reach those timeless lands |
|
And I knew you were of water |
|
As my son was forged from earth |
|
And I knew Ingo would draw you |
|
For it's called you since your birth |
|
And although the great sea moves you |
|
When the tide is high and the moon is low |
|
Don't forget me, oh my daughter |
|
I regret, my only daughter, |
|
That I will not let you go |
|
I will not let you go |
|
I cannot let you go |
|
I wish I was away in Ingo |
|
Far beyond the briny sea |
|
Sailing over deepest waters |
|
Where love nor care ne'er trouble me |
