It was a mere young woman, who lived by the sea,
Her house was on the shore, occupied by her family;
The house of a fisherman, that was so tall and slender,
Was built on an island, opposite to her.

It was a starry evening when they both met each other,

“I went to your house and I saw you with your wife and child!”
“That’s my twin brother”, then the fisherman smiled.

In an island where they both dwell happily.
With the moon above, they exchanged their vows so quiet,
