Lyrics:

I must be going, no longer staying,
The burning Thames I have to cross.
Oh, I must be guided without a stumble
Into the arms of my dear lass.

And when he came to his true love's window,
He knelt down gently on a stone,
And it's through a pane he whispered slowly:
My dear girl, are you alone?

She rose her head from her down-soft pillow,
And snowy were her milk-white breasts,
Saying: Who's there, who's there at my bedroom window,
Disturbing me from my long night's rest?

So this young girl rose and put on her clothing,
So swift she's let her true love in.
And it's there they kissed and embraced each other
Through that long night they lay as one.

No le cantes, ahora gallito
No le cantes, ahora, no (x4)

Then it's: Willy dear, oh dearest Willy,
Where's your colour you'd some time ago?
O Mary dear, the clay has changed me
And I'm but the ghost of your Willy, oh.

Then it's cock, oh cock, oh handsome cockerel,
I pray you not crow before it is day,
And your wings I'll make of the very first beaten gold,
Your comb I will make of the silver grey.

No le cantes, ahora gallito
No le cantes, ahora, no (x2)

But the cock it crew, and it crew so fully.
It crew three hours before it was day.
And before it was day, my love had to go away,
Not by the light of the moon or the light of day.

No le cantes, ahora gallito
No le cantes, ahora, no (x2)

Then it's Willie dear, oh dearest Willie,
Whenever shall I see you again?
When the fish they fly, love, and the sea runs dry, love,
And the rocks they melt in the heat of the sun.
