Songs Of The Man

I

Ya, that is good!

Ya, that is good!

That worthless woman

does not like me.

Ii

Very unhappy I was

with my wife,

in Victoria.

Nobody

said good-day to us

in Victoria.

Iii

Aya, aya!

I have seen

Sitka your country.

Never mind, if I die

now soon.

Songs Of The Woman

I

I don't care

if you desert me.

Many pretty boys are in the town.

Soon I shall take another one.

That is not hard for me!

Ii

Nothing shall bother my mind now.

Don't speak to me. I wish I were dead with my sister.

Iii

Ya ya,

When you take a wife,

Ya ya,

Don't become angry with me.

I do not care.

Iv

I am very glad

when the steamboat comes here.

I think I shall cry

when the steamboat leaves.

V

I broke down! my dear!

Say good-bye!

to me now.

Always I cry

for I live far away.
