Over deze songtekst:
De 'Sirens' waren bijzonder knappe, maar gevaarlijke vrouwen. Echte 'Femmes Fatale'. Ze lokten zeelieden naar de kust door zang en muziek. De kust was rotsig en het schip verging. Van oorsprong komt het uit de Griekse mythologie. Ze woonden op een rotsachtig eiland en waren de dochters van de riviergod Achelous. De vrouwen worden vaak afgebeeld als zeemeerminnen.
Seven sailors from the north Set their sails for the isle of Rott Then their heading turns southwest For adventure and conquest Seven sailors head southwest 'Cause the wind fills their sails On a journey across the North Sea It's for adventure and conquest And the Sirens sing from every shear As the northern seamen are drawing near How they sing, how they bring the northmen closer in They approach the ship, cling in on to its rim The Sirens cling now to the ship The sailors seemed to lose their grip Enchanted by the Siren's song Mesmerized to go along Seven sirens of the north They put their seamen to their rest Ended their journey across the North Sea For adventure and conquest And the Sirens sang from every shear As the northern seamen were drawing near How they sung, how they clung on to the drowning men The seven sailors will never return again Their ship went down East of the United Kingdom Now their seven widows weep The seamen veiled in endless sleep Come, sleep with me I will set you free Come, dream with me At the bottom of the North Sea And the Sirens sang from every shear As the northern seamen were drawing near How they sung, how they clung on to the drowning men The seven sailors will never return again
