The Four Winds and the Seven Seas
Embracing Love Amidst Boundless Horizons
Lyrics
You ask where I live
You inquire about my residence
Here's the address I give
I provide the following location
The four winds and the seven seas
Symbolic reference to various directions and vast expanses
The hills were my home
Mountains were my dwelling place
Till I started to roam
Until I began to wander
The four winds and the seven seas
Reference to the four winds and seven seas continues
My love and I
My beloved and I
Would sit and sigh
We would express our emotions with sighs
Till the moon grew pale
As the moon loses its brightness
We vowed and said someday we'd wed
We made a promise to marry someday
In the church in the vale
In a church located in the valley
A train came to town
A train arrived in the town
And a stranger stepped down
A stranger disembarked, displaying a smile
A smilin' so my love could see
The stranger smiled for my love to notice
She answered his smile
My love reciprocated with a smile
And then after awhile
After some time passed
The only stranger there was me
The only stranger in that situation was me
And that is why my heart and I
Explains the reason for heartache and wandering
Follow every breeze
We follow every breeze, suggesting a journey
You ask where I live
Repetition of the question about residence
Here's the address I give
Reiteration of the location as four winds and seven seas
The four winds and the seven seas
Continuation of the symbolic address
The four winds and the seven seas
Repetition of the reference to four winds and seven seas
You ask where I live
Repeated inquiry about residence
Here's the address I give
Repeated presentation of the symbolic address
The four winds and the seven seas
Reiteration of referring to the four winds and seven seas
(The four winds and the seven seas)
Emphasis on the four winds and seven seas (in parentheses)
The seven seas
Final mention of the seven seas
