i saw you walking by the sea-side
with your pale skin sparkling'
as bright as the moonshine
as bright as the moonshine
she slowly held out her hand to me
- don't be afraid, my name is aileen,
please just dance with me in the waves of the sea
please just dance with me in the waves of the sea
we danced as lovers in the dephts of the sea
i'll take you - she told me - in my alcove -
i let myself go in her softly embrace
and loved her among corals and starfishes
the sea-breeze awoke me on the strand
and near me were some words on the sand
- remember my love, my name is aileen,
goodbye my love my name is aileen
