Текст песни: Bay of Biscay + перевод

My William sailed aboard the tanker

And where he is I do not know

For seven long years I have been waiting

Since he’s crossed the Bay of Biscay — oh

One night his Mary lay asleeping

A knock came to her bedroom door

Saying arise, arise, my lovely Mary

It is your true love, William — oh

So Mary rose, put on her clothing

So swift she open’d up the door

And there she saw her true love standing

His cherry cheeks as white as snow.

«Oh William dear, where are your blushes,

Those blushes I knew some time ago?»

«Oh Mary dear, the clay has changed me

And I am the ghost of your William — oh.»

«And Mary dear, the dawn is breaking,

The time has come for me to go.

And I must leave you broken-hearted

Since I’ve crossed the Bay of Biscay-oh.»

And if I had all the gold and silver

and all the money in Mexico

I’d grant it to the King of Eireann

If he’d bring me back my William — oh

For my William sailed on board the tanker

And where he is, I do not know

For seven long years, I have been waiting

Since he’s crossed the Bay of Biscay — oh.
