Dear little fish, I love you so
I』ll feed you bread so you will grow.
Each day, I』ll give you one sweet kiss
And promise you I』ll never miss!
But on the day , my dear little fish,
You grow too big for your small dish.
I will take you to the sea,
And in one move, I』ll let you free.
How you』ll be so glad to go,
But dear little fish, I』ll miss you so.
I will wait all through the day
To see if you turn』 round this way.
And I will wait all trough the night,
To see if you e ba sight.
Oh! I will throw my only hat
To see if you will bring it back
And the first joy that I will see,
Is when y it home to me.
Your back will be my favourite boat,
And together we will sail and float.
Over the river and cross』 the sea,
To a small island with a palm tree.
There we will both live and play,
「Catch the hat」 by night and day.
And I will know your love for me
For you came home when I set you free.
