Sea Fever Songtext
von Bryn Terfel

I must go down to the seas again,
To the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
And the wheel′s kick and the wind's song and the white sail′s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking.
I must go down to the seas again,
For the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
I must go down to the seas again,
To the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull's way and the whale′s way
Where the wind′s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quite sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.
