Little Sea Girl (feat. Jonas Sanche)
Little sea girl, you were born from the love your father had
A sea wolf alongside your mother, sun mermaid
Little sea girl, sweet little feet of innocence
They know the sand, they know how to keep the salty traces
Little sea girl, and if one day they ask where dad is
You tell them loud and clear that he’ll always be by the sea
Little sea girl, and when you feel sad I’ll braid
Invisible strands that will take you straight to the sea, no
It will always be your place
Little sea girl, and the deeper you can dive
You’ll build your own truth to endure
Little sea girl, the sea is salty now from all the tears
But with your sweetness, it could mix, and became immortal
Little sea girl, and like a lioness, I’ll take care of you
I know you’ll be brave like mom taught, and you’ll fight
Little sea girl, and when you feel sad I’ll stitch
With yellow threads an expanse, seascapes
When you see the ocean
When you think you can’t, feel how we surround you
I know you’re strong even when darkness strikes
Look into those eyes, let that light guide you
Bringing wisdom and calm
To my bitter, stone-cold departure, a new process from afar
I never knew how to eliminate or ease my longing
At least there’s no fight, you’re calm at home
No offense or jealousy that kills
Don’t think of me now at all
My body’s absent, but never my soul
I put effort into escaping the abyss that binds me
For you, for me, I fulfilled an end
Pushing away everyone who loves me, I fade into the water
I’m grateful for those dawn glances, this decision is made
And it’s clear
Little sea girl, and when you’re sad I’ll always be
Loving you more
