美國猶太裔創作歌手［卡拉．波諾夫］──蘇格蘭民謠抒情曲翻唱──［The Water Is Wide／水很寬］

The water is wide, I cant cross oer
And neither have, I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I

Oh, love is gentle and love is kind
The sweetest flower when first its new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like morning dew

There is a ship and she sails the sea
Shes loaded deep as deep can be
But not as deep, as the love Im in
I know not how I sink or swim

The water is wide, I cant cross oer
And neither have, I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
And both shall row, my love and I
