O brother are you sleeping in the ocean?

O brother have the waves held you down?

On the coast of Illyria I came up ashore

To find not the twin of which my mother she bore

I cut my hair and changed my name

To serve the duke, beneath his fame

Seven years have gone around and now my life’s a game

Viola loves Orsino and Orsino loves Olivia,

Olivia loves Cesario, but the man does not, no the man does not exist

O brother are you sleeping in the ocean?

O brother have the waves held you down?

On the coast of Illyria I came up ashore

To find not the twin of which my mother she bore

I shared my name unknowingly

To you my twin my poetry

You gave my love and took my role to the girl my master sought

Viola loves Orsino and Orsino loves Olivia, Olivia loves Cesario but the man does not no the man does not exist

O brother are you sleeping in the ocean?

O brother have the waves held you down?

On the coast of Illyria I came up ashore

To find not the twin which my mother she bore

I cut my hair and changed my name

To serve the duke, beneath his fame

Seven years have gone around and now my life’s a game

We can’t expect simplicity like writers writing mysteries

The facts will shift realities

Bring an end to this, bring end to this pretending

Bring an end to this, bring an end to this pretending

Cause the man does not, no the man does not exist
