And in one move, I’ll let you free.
I will wait all through the day
I’ll feed you bread so you will grow.
Dear little fish, I love you so
You grow too big for your small dish.
“Catch the hat” by night and day.
I will take you to the sea,
To a small island with a palm tree.
And promise you I’ll never miss!
To see if you will bring it back
How you’ll be so glad to go,
Is when you bring it home to me.
To see if you turn’ round this way.
And together we will sail and float.
Oh! I will throw my only hat
But dear little fish, I’ll miss you so.
For you came home when I set you free.
And the first joy that I will see,
And I will knowyour love for me
To see if you come back in sight.
There we will both live and play,
Each day, I’ll give you one sweet kiss
Over the river and cross’ the sea,
And I will wait all trough the night,
Your back will be my favourite boat,
But on the day , my dear little fish,
