La Sposina:
Soft and sadly sea wind swell,
Soft and sadly roll, O wave,
Wind that toll'd my sailor's knell,
Sea that made my sailor's grave,
Dark my life for evermore
As that ocean grave shall be;
Sad my voice along the shore,
As the wind that wails, that wails for thee.

Chorus:
Dark her life for evermore
As that ocean grave shall be;
Sad her voice along the shore,
As the wind that wails for thee.

La Sposina:Chorus:
Soft and sadly sea wind swell,
Soft and sadly roll, O wave.Sad her voice
Sad my voicealong the shore,
along the shore,As the wind that wails for thee,
As the wind that wails for thee,The wind that wails,
That wails, that wails for thee.that wails.
Dark her life for evermore,
Dark my life,
Sad her voice along the shore,
Sad my voice,As
As the wind wails for thee,the wind that wails
wails for thee.for thee
