Once You Were My Lover
Tri Martolodso young tra la la, la la la laTri Martolod so young they sailed away to seaTri Martolod so young tra la la, la la la laTri Martolod so young they set sail from BrittanyA storm began as they set sailThe waves swelled high around themThe winds were strong,The journey longThey landed in Newfoundland.They anchored down beside a millAnd met a girl who worked thereShe said to one " I know you wellFor once you were my lover -A ring you bought in Nantes for meAnd promised we would marryI waited for a year or moreWhy so long did you tarry?"‘I was, they said, too poor to wedAnd could no longer see you,One day, three martolod, we fled -The storm it blew us to you""Your destiny is here with meOur love will always feed us -We'll live like birds so wild and freeWherever life may lead us!"
