The sailor Marius declares his love for Fanny.
View Lyrics
You, long as I may live, Fanny,
If I could love,
But my heart isn’t mine to give.
Fanny, Fanny, Fanny.
No, no not mine to give.
Fanny.
For it is gone, given long away
To the sea, my one love
Deep with wonders beyond the shore;
To the isles ‘neath the winds
I must know them all,
Here’s a boy with no heart to give,
Fanny, Fanny, Fanny.
Not worth one tear you’ll cry,
Fanny.
Oh, Fanny, goodbye!
