She runs out of the door Passing the empty road Looking right and left and up and down Walking slowly, desperately Finding shelter under the evergreen tree
Mother, mother, we scream loudly
But she just sits there tranquilly
Then she says, the ocean... the whisper... can you hear him?
Mother, mother, we say softly There is nothing, only the wind and the sparrow's cry
Then she says, black sparrow or Sparrow the captain?
Again, she runs Heading to the town Reaching the harbor Looking among those young and old group of men
Have you seen him? She asks the Captain
Madam, madam, the sea was perilous and vicious He was the bravest and the honest He was the tiger who roared against the monsters, the sirens and the gods He was only a man, unfortunately
Later, she whispers to the sky and the fading sun Something deep and thoughtful Something about love and hate
