The ancient river has a thousand eyes
Hands that hold and love the valley
Tongues that kiss the Sound
Loves the valley, loves the sea
With a thousand voices the river cries
On a starry night
The valley was the first love
The valley was the only one
The sea is rich and risky
It tells me stories of travail
And how it suffers torn between his two lovers
The valley is young and beautiful
The sea is vast
The sea is free
And the river runs through
The valley was the first love
The valley was the only one
The sea is rich and risky
