Troubled Waters 1921 Mauritz Stiller







There sails a ship over river and sea.
It sail not itself but others in need.
Vallevan, Vallevan, he sails dishonestly.

Everyone at the shores know:
That sailing ship speaks a pledge.
Vallevan, Vallevan, he sails dishonestly.

Vallevan his ship leaves the shore.
Not yet taken the maidens hand.
Vallevan, Vallevan, he sails dishonestly.

Vallevan he sails for years.
In the ship he keeps the peace.
Vallevan, Vallevan, he sails dishonestly.

Vallevan he sails late at night,
As the girl watches the fire.
Vallevan, Vallevan, he sails dishonestly.

Do you hear me, beautiful maiden:
A room for the night you lend me!
Vallevan, Vallevan, he sails dishonestly.

Hear, fair maiden, what I say to you:
A part of the way you can follow me.
Vallevan, Vallevan, he sails dishonestly.

Vallevan took the maiden held in his arms.
Now she sits in stem of the ship.
Vallevan, Vallevan, he sails dishonestly.

The maiden she woke and thought to herself:
Fifty miles am I lost from myself.
Vallevan, Vallevan, he sails dishonestly.

The maiden she woke and thought to herself:
Now is the time to return to myself.
Vallevan, Vallevan, he sails dishonestly.
