Me, The Unrecognized Poet (II)

Now that some light has been shed on my first poem ever published - tracking the original soundtrack that inspired it, and hopefully getting it - I feel an urge to come out with my second poem, maybe not chronologically, but logically the second.
This is a very simple song, and while I came up with it I was imagining a young girl, sitting somewhere on one of those magical Maldivian beaches on a distant island, trying to figure out her feelings and mood swings... dreaming about her fisher boy.

Fisher Boy

Fisher boy -
I long for you
All day long
While you are out at sea.

But when you
Are on land with me
I just wish
You were at sea.

Why is it,
That I want you
So near me
When you are gone?

And that I
Wish you at sea
So much when
You're close to me?

Fisher boy -
I long for you
All day long
While you are out at sea.

Fisher boy -
Fisher boy...

At that time, I signed with "Song Lyrics by T.L. Aazim, Malé, 3 October 2002". For those who don't know, Aazim is my Muslim name, and T.L. stands for Thomas Lukas (guess there will have to be a post on "My Unrecognized Names", at some point). I was having a melody that went around in my mind for the song, but could not get it quite right: Summertime.... but it was somehow unfitting for a Maldivian setting.

Finally, I got Nashid from Zero Degree Atoll, a famous Maldivian band, to help me and compose the music for it. He came up with a simple guitar tune and a soft swish of waves as a background sound, such as you can hear on Maldivian beaches. He got a singer to come to his studio and try the song, but I was not quite happy with the result. The tune however made it into the Official Guide to Maldives CD (2002), which I produced at that time, and played as a default loop. If I find out how I can isolate it and post it, I will make it available on my blog... Meanwhile, I lost track of Nashid, and I could not find out if he ever got the money that I had left in Malé to be handed over to him for the composition. If someone hears of him, let me know!

I almost forgot: One of my then staff members, Nasir, did an adaptation in Dhivehi, the local language. I really can't judge it, but whoever gets to read it in Maldives, give me a feedback!
