Matelot |
| 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 |
