If I’m wealthy as the king of seas,
Shout for me and cast your fishing lure!
Both my watery and earthly spheres,
I will throw out in a flash, for sure!

House of crystal, just for her, on the hill.
I would live enchained like a dog on guard.
Oh, my silver springs that are flowing still,
Oh, my placers of forgotten gold!

For there’s no one I’d compare you to:
Hang me, execute me, all is well.
Look how much I am admiring you -
A Madonna done by Raphael!

House of crystal, just for her, on the hill.
I would live enchained like a dog on guard.
Oh, my silver springs that are flowing still,
Oh, my placers of forgotten gold!

If I’m broke and, like a dog, alone,
And my house’s a poor thing but mine own,
Will You help me in my need, O Lord?
Save my life from going overboard…

House of crystal, just for her, on the hill.
I would live enchained like a dog on guard.
Oh, my silver springs that are flowing still,
Oh, my placers of forgotten gold!
