My ship is arriving there
I'm watching from the beach
Writing in the sand
Is over for me
Because the letters of your name
Don't stay around in the sand
However the laws of the land
Don't count on open sea
So I bring your name along
Grant me a farewell
and forgive me for counting
all the steps out loud
Let us dance, my love
Dance by the sea
Let us dance, my love
Dance by the sea
A goodbye waltz at the waterline
Dance by the sea
One for your tears
Two for mine
Three for the horizon
From which we disappear
You knew who I was
Swinging with my coat
My arms wide and empty
And a heart that kept screamingly silent
That longed more and more for you
To the warmth of your cheek
Let us dance, my love
Dance by the sea
Let us dance, my love
Dance by the sea
A goodbye waltz at the waterline
Dance by the sea
One for your tears
Two for mine
Three for the horizon
From which we disappear
Tell me it was nothing
and tell me I was dreaming
Tell me I was crazy
Dare to tell me I was dreaming
Tell me I was stupid
But I never dreamed
Let us dance, my love
Dance by the sea
Let us dance, my love
Dance by the sea
A goodbye waltz at the waterline
Dance by the sea
One for your tears
Two for mine
Three for the horizon
From which we disappear
