Out on the Mira
One warm afternoon
Old men go fishing
With black line and spoon
And if they catch nothing
They never complain
I wish I was with them again
As boys in their boats
Call to girls on the shore
Teasing the one
That they dearly adore
And into the evening
The courting begins
I wish I was with them again
Can you imagine a piece of the universe
More fit for princes and kings?
I'll trade you ten of your cities
For Marion bridge
And the pleasure it brings
Out on the Mira
On soft summer nights
Bonfires blaze
To the children's delight
They dance round the flames
Singing songs with their friends
And I wish I was with them again
Can you imagine a piece of the universe
More fit for princes and kings?
I'll trade you ten of your cities
For Marion bridge
And the pleasure it brings
Now I conclude
With a wish you go well
Sweet be your dreams
May your happiness swell
I'll leave you here
For my journey begins
I'm going to be with them
Going to be with them
I'm going to be with them again
Can you imagine a piece of the universe
More fit for princes and kings?
I'll trade you ten of your cities
For Marion bridge
And the pleasure it brings
Can you imagine a piece of the universe
More fit for princes and kings?
I'll trade you ten of your cities
For Marion bridge
And the pleasure it brings
