There's a longing that burns you
You'll have to return to
The only life you'll ever know
The sound of the swaying
The horn pipes are playing
For you the aged matelot
Hear the sea calling you come to me
This is your life your home
Love the sea and you will always be
Here with the spray, the foam
Hear the sea calling you come to me
This is your life, your home
Love the sea and you will always be
Here with the spray, the foam
Oh hear the sea calling you come to me
This is the life you know
Love the sea and you will always be
A matelot.
