The young men would listen with their hands
in their pockets and their lips slightly parted

as if they could kiss the song 
and in so doing kiss the seal maiden.

What they loved most about her was
she didn't seem to notice them,

for not to be noticed is the one
sure thing to set a young aflame.

One who had looked at her 
and had loved her from afar

for the longest time was 
Red Brian, a young fisherman.

From the first moment he saw 
the seal maiden, he was enchanted.

So, it was no surprise when one night 
he leapt over the dunes and pulled her to him

and she didn't push him away.

Far from it. She had 
noticed him too for a while

and was only waiting 
for him to make the first move.

He came across the sand 
towards her singing of love

and like countless young women before her, 
the seal maiden could not resist him.
