A Pirate of Umbar
He sang to the sea.
He sang to the wind.
He was a sailor out of Umbar, singing to the sea and listening to the wind.
Aiaiaiaiai… his girl was so pretty …
Aiaiaiaiai… the gods smiled at him …
Aiaiaiaiai… they would see him safely home …
Across the sea,
across the wide, wide sea …
Aiaiaiaiai… so he could drown in her beauty …
Aiaiaiaiai… so he would not drown in the sea …
Aiaiaiaiai… so he could tell her –
So he could tell her –
Tell her –
That wherever he’d been –
There had never been –
No girl prettier than she –
And then he drowned.
