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.
