3. Ardella  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
I would liken you

To a sleep without dreams
Were it not for your songs.

4. Dream Ships  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
The spring is not so beautiful there --
  But dream ships sail away
To where the spring is wondrous rare
  And life is gay.

The spring is not so beautiful there --
  But lads put out to sea 
Who carry beauties in their hearts
  And dreams, like me.
