(English Version)

O my beloved child, come
And see the riches of the deep blue sea,
Don't cry, oh my precious one,
I shall love you forever.

You there, oh, my beloved child.
I will love you, I will love you always,
When you stand with me, oh, and cling together as friends,
I will love you, I will love you always,
I will love you, I will love you always.
