Ama San
She’s the diver of the sea,
braving what we never see,
it’s in her.
But can she live a normal life?
A mother, child, and a wife,
she craves it.
Will she ever be at ease?
Oh, Ama San
you are lonely and empty,
without the sea.
Oh Ama San,
one day, one day, one day,
you are free.
The days go by, her mind’s a haze,
her health dissolves, through every phase,
nobody knows what’s wrong with their Samiko.
For in her heart the sickness lies,
a life of love, a life of lies.
Only in her heart she knows,
where she belongs.
Oh, Ama San
you are lonely and empty,
without the sea.
Oh Ama San,
one day, one day, one day,
you are free.
Finally as a last resort,
she’s taken to the local port,
to the ocean, to her home.
And soon her heart regains its strength,
and to her love she turns to thank,
but he knows now,
that she’s gone.
Oh, Ama San
you are lonely and empty,
without the sea.
Oh Ama San,
one day, one day, one day,
you are free.
Well she takes one last dive,
into love, into life.
Ama san is finally free.
Oh, Ama San
you are lonely and empty,
without the sea.
Oh Ama San,
one day, one day, one day,
you are free.
