Song of the Mermaid
Out on the crest of the waves to the storm
Cold and distant from the land
My love for you is always pure
Although I am a mermaid
Chorus:
Hùbha I and in the waves of the sea
Hùbha I and in the waves of the sea
Hùbha I and in the waves of the sea
It is with deceit you entice me
My sleep is only fleeting
When the house is troubled
I was last night in the speckled corrie
And tonight I am on the island
Look and see the depth of the sea
Treasures of silver and gold without end
Loneliness did not see it
In a court or a king's palace
