about

For seven years they travel the seas together. Magic protects their boat. At night, Luty dreams of a life in Neptune’s palace.

lyrics

When I was your gypsy, and you were my sailorking
We two travelled and called ourselves free
But we have been captive of these ten centuries,
We are prisoners of old sea love.

If we travelled together, or travelled alone
In love was the only place we could not leave
And we laughed at the villagers when we ran free
That your love for the sea was your knowledge of me.

Give me seven seas for a sailor’s song!
All for the sea lord I knew:
Seven times seven lives I would long
For a pagan storm by a full moon

I’ll be away on a journey far
Whether he’ll follow or no
I’ll feel his laughter in every star
And his eyes in the waves so close

And I’ll be your gypsy, and you’ll be my sailorking
And we’ll travel an’ call ourselves free
But we have been captive of these ten centuries
We are prisoners of old sea love.
