Out on the Mira one warm afternoon
Old men go fishing with black line and spoon
And if they catch nothing they never complain
I wish I was with them again
As boys in their boats call to girls on the shore
Teasing the one that they dearly adore
And into the evening the courting begins
I wish I was with them again
Can you imagine a piece of the universe
More fit for princes and kings
I'll trade you ten of your cities
For Marion Bridge and the pleasure it brings
Out on the Mira on soft summer nights
Bonfires blaze to the children's delight
They dance round flames singing songs with their friends
I wish I was with them again
Now I'll conclude with a wish you go well
Sweet be your dreams and your happiness swell
I'll leave you here for my journey begins
I'm going to be with them going to be with them
I'm going to be with them again
