Giselle Graside
Fisher Boy
There is a kingdom under the water
A willow tree told me
Where the silverside listens
And the singing catfish sings
In the mud walls of a rise
I saw a fisher boy
Who, confusing the minnows
Sang this song to them
Tararira, tararira
How shy and wise you are
Hook that falls into the water
Perch that you take away
Bite, bite, tararira
Living silver of the reeds
As long as the thread doesn't break
You will find me by the water
And I, who grew up in silence
Under the willows of the Yi
Coppery from long suns
I understand the fisher boy well
Luck was always elusive
With the fish for me
But he taught me these verses
That shine like a lantern
Tararira, tararira
How shy and wise you are
Hook that falls into the water
Perch that you take away
Bite, bite, tararira
Living silver of the reeds
As long as the thread doesn't break
You will find me by the water
There is a kingdom under the water
A willow tree told me
Where the silverside listens
And the singing catfish sings
