Sailors and fishermen
Go down to the harbor where many good souls set sail
But the ships they have gone
With the hake and the cod
Never to return again
With our nets lives are torn
Wo a captain forevermore
All a boats requiem haunt the waves
With no hands upon deck
And no love waving back
Oh darling, we’ve lost our way
So hail to the sailors and fishermen
And hail to their last serenade
Tinkers and travelers
Born to our caravans
No ivy grows wild round their door
Like the horse and the car
There’s no turning back
So welcome to our fixed abode
They say a song’s never done while the songs still being sung
But a voice with the road disappears
Our traditions now spent
With no cash for the rent
Left standing with no place to go
So hail to the sailors and the fishermen
And hail to their ghost that remains
So goodbye to you dreamers, you vagabonds and true believers
Along may you sing once again
I said, long may you sing once again
Lai da di, di di di
Lai da di, di di di
Lai da di, di di di
Lai da di, di di di
Lai da di, di di di
Lai
May this life take you there (lai da di, di di di)
May this life take you there (lai da di, di di di)
May this life, may this life (lai da di, di di di)
May this life, may this life (lai da di, di di di)
Take you there
May this life take you there (lai da di, di di di)
May this life take you there (lai da di, di di di)
May this life, may this life (lai da di, di di di)
May this life, may this life (lai da di, di di di)
Take you there
Ah hail to the sailors and fishermen
And hail to their ghost that remain
So goodbye to you dreamers, vagabonds and true believers
Along may you sing once again
Said goodbye to you dreamers, you vagabonds and true believers
Along may you sing once again
