Here’s a storyFor you allYou won’t believe it
That’s for sureBut I tell the truth
That stings my heart
Of gorgeous queen
And a lonesome bard
She fell in love with me
That’s how I almost
Became a king
I travelled far
My road was long
I played my luteAnd sang my songs
Then one nightIn walks a queen
Hair, dress, everything
She looked me with
Her pretty eyesI’ve never seen
Such lovely smile
She danced until the dawn
That’s how I almost
Seized the throne
As soon as sun began to rise
King sent his royal spies
She could not resist my charms
She almost fell into my armsI tell you all, I wouldn’t lieI fled the scene in a nick of time
Still today I singHow I almostBecame your king

I was born in a town
Northwest from here
Born as a princeOne day to be kingBut my heart
Yearned for something more
So I gave up my throne
I am the wanderer
World is my wayI am the wanderer
There’s no place I’ll stay
I am the wanderer
I’ve always lookAs far as eye can see
I am freeI am the wanderer
Since thenI’ve traveled far and wide
Never looking backI’ve seen the wondersOf the worldMountains and caverns black
People often said“You fool, you could’ve been a king”
But to meIt don’t mean a thing

I was a sailor for the king
Had a wife and family
What seems like a lifetime ago
It's all coming back to me
Time when I was free
When love meant more to me
Than gold
I had my ship, I had my crew
We were young, brave and true
Sailed the seas for far too long
But what it came to beIs a life of miseryWhen we found the curse of old
Yo ho, we rowTo find the cursed gold
Yo ho, we rowTo free our cursed souls
Now we sail the seven seas
No home or family
Searching for the cursed gold
In this endless misery
We seek our liberty
Every night we sing along
Yo ho, we rowTo find the cursed gold
Yo ho, we rowTo free our cursed souls

Silent is the nightIn my old town tonight
Everyone's asleep
While moon shines bright
Wind is all I hearNo footsteps on the ground
Last peaceful nightFor husbands and their wives
Tomorrow we will fight
For our lives
Morning has comeWe hear the mountains roar
Dragons from the deep
Came to our shores
Sound the battle horns
Together we must stand
Once again our home
We must defend
Today the Dragon king
Will meet his end
