My Heart Is Drifting
| My heart is drifting
And it feels good
When I drop anchor
Between your two breasts
A girl in every port
That’s a sailor’s life
Hoist the sail, out we go
Set off in the morning
|
Farewell, Amsterdam
Hello, Lorient
My heart belongs to these ladies
But not for long
Life is like a wave
That carries us far away
Love flies off
Like sea spray
| Some choose
To stay in port
The wind blows east
The wind keeps blowing
I prefer adventure
And rough seas
Rotting on the dock
Isn’t for me.
| I know islands |
Where birds are kings
Where girls are wild
Just like me
Where the sea erases
On white sand
Love vows
Lovers’ names | To live moored up
One day you get bored
To rot in port
One day you get bitter
Raise your sail
Let your dead body go
The wind blows east
The wind keeps blowing | |
