I left to dance in my bateau
Beyond the cruel sea
And the roaring ocean says
I left to steal
The unrivaled light
Of your such beautiful eyes!
Come and find if the sea is right...
Come, see my heart waltz!
If I dance in my bateau
I won't meet the cruel sea
Nor tell you where I fled
To sing, to smile, to dance,
To live, to dream...
Of you!
