He loves me

Over and over with ceaseless motion

The waves come rolling over the ocean,

Then break on the sand,

Waves, bright waves, can you never discover

What has become of my absent lover

So far from land, so far from land...

Ever and ever the ships are passing,

But only the ship I love is missing,

My true love at sea.

Ah! no matter what skies are above him,

He only knows how truly I love him

And he loves me, and he loves me.
