La Petite Sirène
Anne Meson
The Little Mermaid
I know that at the bottom of the sea
Red mullet, tuna, moray eels
And a little mermaid
Roam freely
They say that this young lady
Has got a big fin
That undulates behind her
Like an evening dress
And in her domain, the sea
The little mermaid has everything
Her name is Ariel
And she's a little mermaid
Who dreams and hopes
To go for a walk on land
Her name is Ariel
She would like to leave the sea
Ariel would like
To walk light and free
I know that at the bottom of the sea
Her father, the Sea King
Doesn't want to let her do it
Poor little mermaid
So, when the very handsome young prince
Passes one day on his boat
Real close to Ariel
That really takes the cake
She gives in and signs the contract
Of the sea witch Ursula
Her name is Ariel
The pretty little mermaid
How lucky for her
She now walks and dances like a queen
Her name is Ariel
She wanted to leave the sea
Ariel now dances
And her prince dances with her
Even though the sea witch
Attempted everything to stop her
Love won in the end
As you can figure!
Her name is Ariel
The pretty little mermaid
Ariel now smiles
In a beautiful lace dress
Ariel's feet now fly
She is finally on land
Ariel now dances
And her prince dances with her
Her name is Ariel
She has forgotten her pain
Over there, on the sea
A rainbow appears
Her name is Ariel
She is starting a new life
Ariel now smiles
In a beautiful lace dress
Pretty little mermaid Ariel
Now dances
And the one she loves
Is dancing with her today
