lirik lagu bill & kath worsfold - i only spoke portuguese
[verse 1]
oh, my name’s jose luiz santini
a cooper’s boy, proud portuguese
shanghai’d by an american whaler
bound down for the southern seas
[verse 2]
but i couldn’t speak their language
i was beaten mercilessly
at cable bay i slipped over the side
and i fled from the ship and the sea
[verse 3]
taken in and sheltered by the maoris
the chieftain took pity on me
i fell in love with his pretty young daughter
and i knew in my heart she loved me
[verse 4]
for the heart knows only one language
that the eyes alone speak with ease
though she could only speak maori
and i only spoke portuguese
[verse 5]
now it’s fifty~six years we’ve been lovers
though it seems like just yesterday
and it’s twenty~one children she bore me
no man more contented today
[verse 6]
and if i had the wings of a tui
i would sing from the highest of trees
that she can still only speak maori
and i only speak portuguese
