Lyrics
Santiano
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
C'est un fameux trois-mâts fin comme un oiseau.
Hisse et ho, Santiano!
Dix huit noeuds, quatre cent tonneaux:
Je suis fier d'y être matelot.
REFRAIN:
Tiens bon la vague tiens bon le vent.
Hisse et ho, Santiano!
Si Dieu veut toujours droit devant,
Nous irons jusqu'à San Francisco.
Je pars pour de longs mois en laissant Margot.
Hisse et ho, Santiano!
D'y penser j'avais le coeur gros
En doublant les feux de Saint-Malo.
REFRAIN
On prétend que là-bas l'argent coule à flots.
Hisse et ho, Santiano!
On trouve l'or au fond des ruisseaux.
J'en ramènerai plusieurs lingots.
REFRAIN
Un jour, je reviendrai chargé de cadeaux.
Hisse et ho, Santiano!
Au pays, j'irai voir Margot.
A son doigt, je passerai l'anneau.
Tiens bon la vague tiens bon le vent.
Hisse et ho, Santiano!
Sur la mer qui fait le gros dos,
Nous irons jusqu'à San Francisco.
