Far away an ocean island,
country without men and wives
Who looks for it, cannot find it,
undisclosed to human eyes
There we live alone and lonely,
godforsaken, empty dolls
Collected all over the world,
some of us hot, some of us cold
Taken to the new land with care,
sea so soothing, look what we wear
Given new clothes, dress to dream of,
golden-red veil, tailored with love
Little shoes from softest leather,
that can be worn every weather
To the table then invited,
fed and watered, all delighted
Everything is true and honest,
not a bad wolf in the forest
Sun-kissed beaches rich with fine gold,
not a drop of blood that is cold
Skin so soft like smoothest velvet,
cheeks are chiseled,lips are perfect.
