Part 1
Sail over the waves,
While the breezes are rippling the sea,
One favor love craves,
Just a kiss would be heaven for me,
Day dies in the west,
And the waters are trembling with light,
Lean closer and rest,
Let me kiss you, my dear one goodnight.
 
Part 2
In the murmuring song of the sea,
Lies the meaning of love's mystery.
In the magical kiss of the spray,
You will know what my lips dare not say.
All my heart you have caught in the snare
Of your eyes and your clustering hair,
And I dream of love tender and true,
Sailing over the waves with you.
 
Part 3
Tell me love's story
At morn, or at noon,
When sunsets glory
Makes way for the moon.
And when the bright stars
Shine down from above,
Whisper it gently,
Your story of love.
 
(Repeat Part 1)
