A computerman there lived in the french country
a hey ho bonny o
And he had one, two, more trees
The Seagull flies so bonny o

These trees they grew in his land by the river's brim
a hey ho bonny o
The water attracts the weeping willow in
The Seagull flies so bonny o

Oh friend, oh girl, please lend me your words
with a hey ho a bonny o
And I will give you notes and birds
The Seagull flies so bonny o

I'll give you neither words nor rhymes
with a hey ho a bonny o
Unless you give me your own true smiles
The Seagull flies so bonny o

Sometimes she was ying, and sometimes, yang
with a hey ho and a bonny o
Until she heared when the feary sang
The Seagull flies so bonny o

The bookman’s daughter, dressed in red
with a hey ho and a bonny o
She went for some verses in her white sled
The Seagull flies so bonny o

Oh dearest, oh Lady, here flies the Seagull
with a hey ho and a bonny o
It's very like a gentle sunny lull
The Seagull flies so bonny o

He comes and coils up upon your shoulder
with a hey ho and a bonny o
his name is Jonathan, charming and so clever
The Seagull flies so bonny o

He soars and draws for you a fractal
with a hey ho and a bonny o
with his wings of silver metal
The Seagull flies so bonny o

He will built a harp on the web 
with a hey ho and a bonny o
for telling you the beauty of Deneb
The Seagull flies so bonny o

Over the seas, over the mountains
with a hey ho and a bonny o
bringing nectar of the love fountains
The Seagull flies so bonny o

He hovers gently, watch his cool flight
with a hey ho and a bonny o
Jonathan the wonder bird of my blue night
The Seagull flies so bonny o

And when he comes back to me I wonder  
with a hey ho and a bonny o
the tales he tells me from the Lady yonder
The Seagull flies so bonny o

He makes me dream for the distant pretty Lady
with a hey ho and a bonny o
it is so sweet, it is so nice, is it real or fairy ?
The Seagull flies so bonny o

But anyway it doesn’t matter
for in the sky the Seagull flies so bonny  
and as you know in the blue water
Swims the Swann in his nature beauty ….
