Bahr (The Sea)
Oh night, shroud me; veil me with your darkness Oh night, impregnate me; empower me with your darkness My brother saw the secret; saw the secret he would've revealed My brother, seized by the waves, seized by the waves as he squealed And the fishermen just slept
Oh Poseidon return to me, return to me my brother The waves have swindled me; have robbed me of my brother I took him to the shore, so the waves may wash him clean, And there upon that shore, stained the waves incarnadine. And the fishermen just slept
My brother lies with the mermaids, bring him back to me My brother was stolen by the waves, won’t you bring him back to me My brother left me with the break of dawn, never to return to me He lies upon the ocean floor, never to return to me .
