I. Miranda 03:49
I was born in a land far away But I do not remember it now Gentle tides landed us here And just look at the treasure we found This island's my home and my playmate And the breeze whispers songs in my ear I'm pulled by some faraway voices: "Miranda, Miranda, come near..." Clear skies above me, white sand below And the water, smooth glass all around Bare are my feet as I trip through the surf The salt in my hair like a crown On the island Comes a ship, and the skies quickly change Clouds open and torrents pour down "Father, please," I beg and I cry - Without help they will all surely drown This island is cruel, and it's dangerous The winds scream, and they ravage the ears The boat is torn all into pieces The full crew's destruction I fear Storm clouds above me, white sand below And the waves, how they crash all around A man (such a man!) is washed up on the beach In him, precious riches abound Like the island I believe him a spirit at first But he tells me his name - Ferdinand I would wish no one better than he I offer my heart and my hand My father's old heartaches are mended And over the waters we fly The shore disappears in the distance "Miranda, Miranda, goodbye..." Rafters above me, marble below And a wondrous new world all around Ring on my finger, shoes on my feet I've traded the waves for a crown Far from the island
