My version of a traditional ballad from the 1600s*

The water is wide and I can't cross over
neither have I wings to fly
send me a boat that'll carry two
and both shall row
my love and I

Off there's a ship and she sails the seas
she's laden deep, deep as can be
but not as deep as the love i'm in
and I know not if I'll sink or swim

I cam to rest upon an oak
thinkin' it were a trusty tree
but first it bent and then it broke
so did my love prove false to me

love is sweet and love is kind
the sweetest flower when first it's new
but love grows old and waxes cold
and fades away like the morning dew

It's not the frost that freezes fell
nor the snow storms inclemency
it's not the wind's cold hand that makes me cry
but my love's heart grown cold to me

The water is wide and I can't cross over
neither have i wings to fly
send me a boat that'll carry two and both shall row 
my love and I
both shall row - my love and I
both shall row - my love and I

Let The Good Times Roll

An original duet sung with Katie Hampton.

Venha menina
Deixe-nos levar
Aonde a cana e a
Grama crescem

Não posso suprimir 
O que eu sinto 
Quantos dias eu posso roubar
De você?

Nos vamos cantar
Nossas cancões de
Infância

Oh menino, menino
Dança comigo toda a noite
Até que a manhã levanta
Depois que a canção acabou

Não posso suprimir 
O que eu sinto
Quantos dias eu posso roubar
De você?

Deixe-nos amar
Mais que
Os pássaros, as árvores a terra
E o céu e o mar

Sente-se aqui comigo
E me da um beijo
Observaremos as ondas e as estrelas
Até a alvorada

Não posso suprimir 
O que eu sinto
Quantos dias eu posso roubar
De você?

Deixe-nos, deixe-nos ser
Um só
Até que este sonho 
Para de acontecer

Deite-se comigo menino
E me-segura muito apertado
Me canta as suas cancões de amor
E tira minha dor

Não posso suprimir 
O que eu sinto
Quantos dias eu posso roubar
De você?

Deixe-nos viver
Com alma, aventura e coracao
E o necessario para se viver

Lyrics:


Come girl
Let's run off
To where the sugar cane and the
Grass grow

I can’t suppress 
What I feel
How many days can I steal
From you?

We'll sing
Our songs of 
Infancy

Oh boy, boy
Dance with me all night
From when the morning rises
After the songs have ended

I can’t suppress 
What I feel
How many days can I steal
From you?

Let us love
More than
The birds, the trees, the earth
The heaven and the sea

Sit here with me
And give me a kiss
We’ll watch the waves and the stars
Until the dawn

I can’t suppress 
What I feel
How many days can I steal
From you?

Let us, let us be
One, together
Until this dream
ceases to be

Lay down with me boy
And hold me tight
Sing me your love songs
And take away my pain

I can’t suppress 
What I feel
How many days can I steal
From you?

Let us live
With soul, adventure and heart
It’s what you need to live
