[Verse 1]
When Jesus was a boy, he was my sailing friend
We sailed upon the sea of Galilee (ahh)
And even in the water he would not get wet (hum-a-la-la, hum-a-la-la, hum-a-la-la, hum-a-la-la)
He was bald, had no beard, and he wore a crown of leaves (hum-a-la-la, hum-a-la-la, hum-a-la-la, hum-a-la-la)
[Verse 2]
Now Jesus had no fear to speak his mind (ooh)
That's why they killed him, they say (ooh)
But he was the best friend I'll ever find (ooh)
And I'm gonna write a book about him someday (ooh)
[Verse 3]
I was there when the Romans hung him with a rope (hum-a-la-la, hum-a-la-la, hum-a-la-la, hum-a-la-la)
My lover was gone and I criеd and I cried (hum-a-la-la, hum-a-la-la, hum-a-la-la, ahh)
Some peoplе tell you he had magic powers (hum-a-la-la, hum-a-la-la, hum-a-la-la, hum-a-la-la)
And some people say that he was really crucified (hum-a-la-la, hum-a-la-la, hum-a-la-la, hum-a-la-la)
[Verse 4]
People try to tell you he was a rebel (ooh)
And he was bathed in the colors of the sun (ooh)
But he was to me just a devil (ooh)
'Cause he left me and my tears forever run (ooh)
[Verse 5]
When Jesus was a boy he was my sailing friend
He must have kissed me thousands of times (ahh)
He never called me Mary, only Magdalene (hum-a-la-la, hum-a-la-la, hum-a-la-la, hum-a-la-la)
He was bald, had no beard, and he bled from a crown of leaves (hum-a-la-la, hum-a-la-la, hum-a-la-la, hum-a-la-la)
[Outro]
Be of good courage
And if you are discouraged, be encouraged
In the presence of the definite forms of nature
He who has a mind to understand, let him understand
He who is curious to hear, let him hear
All nature, all formations, all creatures exist
Being with one another
And they will be resolved again into their own
No matter, they will be destroyed
Or not
Be of good courage
And live with one another
And they will love nature
Who love nature
He who has fruits
Has their roots
