“And firmly pray arrive the day
He’s never more to roam”
Probably my favourite part.
At first it sounds like a young maiden praying and hoping that her lover will return to her having satisfied his thirst for adventure and danger, so that they can settle down and be together, live happily. It’s innocent and sweet.
… but then you realise that this is sung by a siren who’s trying to lure a sailor to his death, and suddenly him “not roaming anymore” takes on a much darker and more eerie meaning…

Serious Plot Twist: The mermaids actually learned this song by listening every night to the singing of the lighthouse keeper's widow, Maria. She flung herself from the rocky cliffs at Mermaid's Cove after receiving news that her husband William had drowned at sea while sailing home from the War of Spanish Succession, and that's why the lighthouse is abandoned by the time of Pirates Of The Carribbean 4.
