Matelot - noel coward

作曲：Noël Coward

Jean Louis Dominic Pierre Bouchon

True to the breed that bore him

Answered the call

That held in thrall

His father's heart before him

Jean Louis Dominic sailed away

Further than love could find him

Yet in the night

He heard a light

And gentle voice behind him say

Matelot Matelot

Where you go my heart goes with you

Matelot Matelot

When you go down to the sea

For a year and a day

You may sail away

And have no thought of me

Yet through the wind and the spray

You will hear me say

No love was ever free

You will sigh when horizons appear

Something that is dear

To me

Cannot let me be

Matelot Matelot

Where you go my heart goes with you

Matelot Matelot

When you go down to the sea

Jean Louis Dominic Pierre Bouchon

Traveled the wide world over

Lips that he kissed Could not resist

This loving roving rover

Jean Louis Dominic right or wrong

Ever pursued a new love

'Til in his brain

He heart a strain

He knew to be his true love song

Matelot Matelot

Where you go my heart will follow

Matelot Matelot

When you go down to the sea

When there's grief in the sky

And the waves fly by

My heart to yours will say

You can be sure that I'm true

To my love for you

Though half a world away

Never mind

If you find

Other charms

Here within my arms

You'll sleep

Sailor from the deep

Matelot Matelot

Where you go my heart will follow

Matelot Matelot

When you go down to the sea

Hey yo hey

Hey yo hey

Hey yo hey
