Lyrics - Paroles de chansons

John Luie Dominic pierre Buchan
True to the breed that, that bore him
Answered the call that held entra lied
His father's heart before him
John Luie Dominic sailed away
Further than love could find him
And yet through the night he heard a light
And a gentle voice behind him say

Matelot, oh Matelot where you go my thoughts go with you
Matelot oh Matelot when you go down to the sea

As you gaze from afar on the evening star
Wherever you may roam
You'll remember the lights through the winter nights
That guides you safely home
Though you find womankind to be frail
One love cannot fail my son till our days are done

Matelot, oh Matelot where you go my thoughts go with you
Matelot oh Matelot when you go down to the sea

When there's grief in sky and the waves fly high
My heart to you will say
You may be sure that I'm true to my love for you
Though half the world away never mind if you find other charms
Here within my arms you'll see saved love from the bee

Matelot, oh Matelot where you go my thoughts go with you
Matelot oh Matelot when you go down to the sea

When you go down to the sea
