Bilingual
In her seventeenth summer she found fulfillment
She was soon to be a mother
And her love gave her warmth, as anyone could see
But her ties with the earth would never let her go free
ย
In her seventeenth summer the black afternoons
Turned to white-pebbled days of barefooted laughter
ย
To free her heart from its nest of marigolds
Bitter wishes and drowsy perfumes
Sing hey by the seashore
Where freedom is sweet
But hunger bites deep in the sinews
(Na-na-na-na-na, seventeenth summer)
(Na-na-na-na-na, soon to be a mother)
(Na-na-na, seventeenth summer)
(Na-na-na-na-na, seventeenth summer)
ย
Remember to love her, she has no malice
Her lips are a blossom of trust and devotion
And the tide of her truth would fill a wide ocean
Of stones, salt and strange fishes
Come on and sing hey by the seashore
Where freedom is sweet
But hunger bites deep in the sinews
In her seventeenth summer she found fulfillment
She was soon to be a mother
And her love gave her warmth, as anyone could see
But her ties with the earth would never let her go free
Come on and sing hey by the seashore
Where freedom is sweet
But hunger bites deep in the sinews
(Na-na-na-na-na, seventeenth summer)
(Na-na-na-na-na, soon to be a mother)
(Na-na-na, seventeenth summer)
(Na-na-na-na-na, seventeenth summer)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
Seventeen, seventeenth summer
