"Man: I'll swim and sail on savage seas
With ne're a fear of drowning
And gladly ride the waves of life
If you will marry me
No scorching sun nor freezing cold
Will stop me on my journey
If you will promise me your heart

Woman: And love me for enternity
My dearest one, my darling dear
Your mighty words astound me
But I've no need of mighty deeds
When I feel your arms around me

Man: But I would bring you rings of gold
I'd even sing you poetry
And I would keep you from all harm
If you would stay beside me

Woman: I have no use for rings of gold
I care not for your poetry
I only want your hand to hold

Man: I only want you near me

Both: To love to kiss to sweetly hold
For the dancing and the dreaming
Through all the sorrows and delights
I'll keep your love beside me
I'll swim and sail on savage seas
With ne're a fear of drowning
And gladly ride the waves of life
If you will marry me
If you will marry me."
