Oh, sailors brave and bold,
With stories to be told,
Of sirens in the sea,
And their sweet, enchanting melody.
How you must have been charmed,
By their voices so disarmed,
Luring you to your doom,
In the depths of the ocean's gloom.
How lucky you must have felt,
To have heard their siren's melt,
And been drawn to the waves,
To sleep in watery graves.
Oh, sirens of the sea,
With your haunting melody,
How you must have enjoyed,
The sailors' fate that you employed.
And sailors, oh how wise,
To be drawn by your lullabies,
To the depths of the sea,
And your deadly company.
So sing on, oh sirens sweet,
And sailors, listen at your feet,
For your fate is surely sealed,
By the charm of the sea you feel.
