about

Scenario: Rodrigo Hernandez Fuentes-Ojelo earns a meager living as a busker on the Coney Island Boardwalk. Rusalka, a young mermaid, hears his enchanting voice and is beguiled. She prays to Yemoja to transform her into a human. Her wish is granted but according to accepted mermaid lore, she may never return to the sea. She finds Rodrigo by the boardwalk and with one glance they win each others hearts. They spend the day enjoying the splendor of Coney Island.
At the cusp of twilight they are confronted by Rodrigo's wife Lasirena. She holds her infant mermaid, Nerissa, in her arms. This is not Rodrigo's first encounter with a sea creature. Heartbroken Rusalka returns to the shore. There she is joined by Rodrigo and a fateful end ensues.

lyrics

Cmaj7 Gm7
Days are getting shorter
Fmaj7 Em7 Am7
The sea is deepening blue
Fmaj7 Em7 Am7
I wonder is it really over
F G C G7
Now that summer is through

No need to fret about it
They say that it’s easy to do
You will forget about me
And I’ll forget about you.

Refrain:
Am Em
We had some happy times
F C
It’s easy to defend
Am Em
Locked inside our hearts and minds…
Fm7 G
are memories that never end.

No need to discuss it
The future is easy to see
I’ll forget about you
and you'll forget about me

TUMPET SOLO

We felt so right together
our hearts were on the mend
How can we walk away?
Can it really be the end?

From that first moment
I thought how, could it be, true?
You had never found me love
and I had never found you?

We may scheme about it.
But there’s one thing that we’ll never do
You won’t forget about me
F G13 Cmaj7
And I can ’t forget about you
