In the cold silence of the nightA single boat floats out to seaThe moon glows full and brightSo it's not so hard to see

In the cold silence of the night
A single boat floats out to sea
The moon glows full and bright
So it's not so hard to see

A man casts his net down
And prays for fish aplenty,
Then the water yields a mighty catch
Counting more than twenty

Soon, the waves begin to echo
The seabirds begin to cry
It's time to make his journey home
Where the land is dry

He pulls his loaded boat to shore
To meets his wife's embrace,
Then he takes the fishes up the path
To the marketplace
