Lyrics[]
Stoick:
I’ll swim and sail on savage seas
with ne'er a fear of drowning.
And gladly ride the waves of life
if you will marry me.
No scorching sun, nor freezing cold
will st—
Gobber:
WILL STOP ME ON MY JOUR—ney. Sorry.
Stoick:
If you will promise me your heart.
And love...
Valka:
...And love me for eternity.
My dearest one, my darling dear,
your mighty words astound me.
But I’ve no need of mighty deeds
when I feel your arms around me.
Stoick:
But I would bring you rings of gold,
I'd even sing you poetry! (Valka: Oh, would you?)
And I would keep you from all harm
if you would stay beside me!
Valka:
I have no use for rings of gold,
I care not for your poetry.
I only want your hand to hold...
Stoick:
I only want you near me!
Both:
To love and kiss, to sweetly hold!
For the dancing and the dreaming!
Through allife’s sorrows and delights,
I’ll keep your laugh inside me!
All:
I’ll swim and sail on savage seas
with ne'er a fear of drowning!
And gladly ride the waves of life
If you will marry me!
Gobber:
Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, I'm still goiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnng! (Hiccup nudges Gobber's belly) I'm done.
