THE SAILOR'S SUICIDE

The sailor
hears the voice of the Lorelei
he looks at his watch
and jumps in the water

Zelfmoord des zeemans

Zelfmoord des zeemans

De zeeman
hij hoort de stem der Loreley
hij ziet op zijn horloge
en springt het water in
Close

THE SAILOR'S SUICIDE

The sailor
hears the voice of the Lorelei
he looks at his watch
and jumps in the water

THE SAILOR'S SUICIDE

The sailor
hears the voice of the Lorelei
he looks at his watch
and jumps in the water
