The river of no return

If you listen, you can hear it call
Wailaree ! Wailaree !
There is a river
Called the River of No Return
Sometimes it's peaceful
And sometimes wild and free
Love is a traveler
On the River of No Return
Swept on forever to be lost
In the stormy sea
Wailaree !
I can hear the river call
No return, no return
(Wailaree !)
I can hear my lover call
"Come to me"
No return, no return
I lost my love on the river
And forever my heart will yearn
Gone, gone forever
Down the River of No Return
Wailaree ! Wailaree ! Wailaree !
You never return to me
No return, no return ...
