In the depths of the shining blue sea The diver dives in search of pearls He passes by the fish and the coral reefs And admires the beauty and wonders. He holds a basket in his hand And a reed in his mouth to breathe He looks for the big oysters That hide the jewels in them. And suddenly he sees something amazing Like a castle made of gold He approaches it with curiosity and delight And feels awe and admiration. For it is inhabited by a friendly creature With a dragon's head and a whale's body It greets him with a warm smile And invites him to explore the sea giving him ability to breath underwater. The diver accepts with gratitude and joy For he is kind and adventurous He follows the creature to see its home And learns more about its way of living. The creature shows him its glittering gold castle And welcomes him warmly and generously He sees in it treasures beyond count or measure Of gold, silver, diamonds and pearls. But what amazed him more than all that Is that he saw in the middle of the castle A beautiful woman like the moon on a full night Clothed modestly and beautifully from her head to her feet. Her eyes were shining like stars in the sky And he saw in her gaze a gentle kindness As if she was happy to see him. He asked her who she was and what her story was She answered him with a soft and sweet voice She is the daughter of the great king of the seas Who ruled over all underwater creatures. But one day her father passed away peacefully And left her the castle and his legacy And she chose to live with this friendly creature Who was her loyal friend and companion. But when she saw the kind diver She felt a new feeling in her heart She asked him to stay with them for a while And to share with them his experience of life. The diver agreed with love and respect And he decided to stay with them for a while And he enjoyed their company and hospitality He learned more about the sea and its secrets And he taught them about the land and its wonders He became friends with the friendly creature Thatwas wise and generous He became fond of the beautiful woman Who was gentle and virtuous. They spent some time together sharing their stories and dreams And learnt depth of wisdom together In the true bond of worthy respect. But one day the diver realized his true feelings And he decided to propose to the woman He told her his intention with a sincere heart And he asked her to be his wife and partner. The woman accepted with joy and gratitude And she gave him her hand and her heart They asked the friendly creature to bless their union And he agreed with happiness and honor. They had a simple and beautiful wedding And they celebrated with the sea and its inhabitants. They exchanged vows of love and loyalty And they kissed with passion and tenderness. They lived happily as husband and wife in harmony and peace And they never forgot their origin or their destiny They were grateful for their fate and their blessings. But one day the diver remembered his family Who were waiting for him on the shore He felt a pang of sadness and guilt And he decided to visit them with his wife. He told her his decision with a gentle voice And he asked her to come with him to the land He assured her of his love and support And he promised her a warm welcome from his people. The woman agreed with love and trust For she wanted to see his world and his family They asked the friendly creature to take care of their home And he agreed with kindness and loyalty. They packed their belongings and treasures And they said goodbye to the sea and its inhabitants. They followed the diver to the surface And they saw the sun and the sky They were amazed by the sight and the light And they felt a new sensation in their hearts They held each other's hands tightly And they smiled with hope and happiness They reached the shore where the diver's family was waiting And they greeted them with respect and affection They introduced themselves as his wife from the sea And they asked them to welcome her warmly The diver's family was surprised and delighted And they welcomed her with open arms They invited them to their home and their village And they offered them their hospitality and friendship. The pearl diver returned to his house near the sea With his beautiful wife from the underwater world They entered his village of pearl traders Where they lived among the people In the pearl traders village, the diver continued his usual style of living He searched for the pearls in the sea And sold them to the merchants. And his wife helped him in his work And made his life cheerful and glad. But in the pearl traders village, there were those who envied them And hated them for their happiness and love So they tried to separate them And planted doubt and fear in their hearts They said to the pearl diver: Aren't you afraid of losing your wife? For she is from another world that does not belong to you Perhaps she betrays you with someone else Or escapes from you to her deep sea And they said to his wife: Don't you miss your sea? For it is your home and your origin and your roots Perhaps your husband exploits you and enslaves you Or sells you with the pearls to some rich man But the pearl diver and his wife did not believe their words For they loved each other sincerely and faithfully And they did not allow anyone to shake their trust Or enter between them discord or strife So they decided to leave the pearl traders village And return to their house under the sea surface Where they could live in peace and freedom And share with each other joy and sorrow. They left the pearl traders village on a quiet night And the parents of the diver bid farewell to them, giving their blessings and wishing happiness and safety in their lives. Because they did not care about envious and wicked talks. The inhabitants of the sea welcomed the pearl diver and his wife The fishes , dolphins and octopuses showed them care and respect And escorted them to their palace Where their faithful creature guardian of their underwater home Was waiting for them.
