The Lovers
Forever Slave Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
a courting couple
by the sea.
He promised her
he would return,
while the time won the battle.
when tomorrow they'll say good-bye.
She closed her sweet eyes,
but he wasn't there.
Ah Ah Ahhh
In 1817
that sea, which united us,
separated us.
In 1870,
an old woman
cried at the beach.
She was waiting for
that sea, returned her lover once again.
The children shouted crazy at her.
She wore a wedding dress,
when she threw herself
into the water.
Ah Ah Ahhh
In 1817
that sea, which united us,
separated us.
The legend tells that night,
people saw two lovers
dancing at the sea
between foam and coral
