On a day of days
I stood and gazed
Over the western sea
I was completely dazed,
Wide-mouthed and amazed
when a mermaid called to me
Ooh-Ooooh Ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy
ooh-Ooooh Ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy
Like a man in a dream,
for an age it seemed
I stood as still as a stone
while the mermaid sang
And her melody rang
like a memory calling me home
Ooh-Ooooh Ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy
ooh-Ooooh Ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy
Then the sea and the wind
and the shores did spin
And though my resistance was strong
all the stars in space
Filled the mermaid's face
as she captured my will with her song
Ooh-Ooooh Ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy
ooh-Ooooh Ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy
Somehow I spoke --
the enchantment broke
I rubbed my eyes open wide
like a dream she was gone
All that remained was a song
borne on the ebbing tide
Ooh-Ooooh Ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy
ooh-Ooooh Ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy
The Waterboys sono un gruppo musicale scozzese fondato nel 1983 dal cantautore e musicista Mike Scott. Il nome del gruppo deriva da una frase presente nella canzone "The Kids" dell'album di Lou Reed "Berlin". Il sound dei The Waterboys ha attraversato diverse fasi, influenzato dalle collaborazioni con diversi artisti nel corso degli anni. Inizialmente si sono distinti per un rock energico e melodico, poi hanno esplorato sonorità folk irlandesi con l'album di successo "Fisherman's Blues" (1988), considerato uno dei capolavori del genere. Successivamente, il gruppo ha abbracciato un sound più intimo e introspettivo, caratterizzato da influenze folk rock. Dopo una pausa nel 1993, The Waterboys si sono riuniti nel 2000 e continuano a registrare e esibirsi con successo. Tra i brani più rappresentativi del gruppo ricordiamo "The Whole of the Moon", "Fisherman's Blues", "How Long Will I Love You" e "A Girl Called Johnny".
