The wicked sister (坠入大海的少女) - meav[00:00:00]
A mother lived by the North Sea shore[00:00:24]
Daughters were the babes she bore[00:00:26]
When the radiant as the sun[00:00:28]
Darkly grew the elder one[00:00:31]
A knight came riding to their door[00:00:33]
He travelled far to be their wooer[00:00:35]
He courted both with gold and rings[00:00:38]
But loved the younger o'er all things[00:00:40]
Sister won't you walk with me[00:00:47]
To watch the ships sail o'er the sea[00:00:50]
As they walked the rocky shore[00:00:52]
The dark one pushed her sister o'er[00:00:54]
Sister sister let me live[00:00:57]
All that's mine I'll surely give[00:00:59]
Thy bridegroom I will take and more[00:01:01]
But thou shalt never come ashore[00:01:04]
Off she floated like a swan[00:01:16]
The salt sea bore her body on[00:01:18]
You could not see her lily feet[00:01:20]
Her golden fringes were so deep[00:01:23]
A minstrel walking by the strand[00:01:25]
Saw her body float to land[00:01:27]
When he looked that lady on[00:01:30]
He sighed and made a heavy moan[00:01:32]
He made a harp of her breastbone[00:01:54]
Whose sound would melt a heart of stone[00:01:56]
Took the strands of her bright hair[00:01:58]
And with them strung his harp so rare[00:02:01]
He brought the harp to the wedding hall[00:02:12]
There to play before them all[00:02:15]
When they set it on a stone[00:02:17]
The harp began to play alone[00:02:19]
The strings sang out a dreadful sound[00:02:40]
The bride her younger sister drowned[00:02:43]
Now her secret you all know[00:02:45]
Her guilty tears will surely flow[00:02:48]
