Δεν ξέρω πώς βυθίζομαι ή κολυμπώ

The water is wide, I cannot cross over
And neither I have wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row - my love and I

There is a ship, and she sails the sea
She's loaded deep as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I'm in
I know not how I sink or swim

I leaned my back against a young oak
Thinking it'd be a trusty tree
But first it bent and then it broke
And there still bides true love in me

I put my hand into a soft bush
Thinking the sweetest flower to find
But I pricked my finger to the bone
And left the sweetest flower alone

O, love is gentle and love is kind
Gay as a jewel, when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like morning dew
