Say to your captain I love you
Say to your captain I miss you
Say to your captain I love you
Say to your captain I need you
The next summer, for the holydays
From tenth of july to the end of August
I promised to aunt Hortense
Who has invited us in Lavandou
Say to your captain so that he understands
Say to your captain he does this to me
Say to your captain I love you
But you know, between us, he doesn't have good taste
You get a pathetic jacket,
Your trousers are badly cut
And your terrible shoes
Disturb me a lot to dance
It hurts me because I love you
Say to your captain I am really angry
Say to your captain I love you
And it grieves me to be so far of you
It lasts only four weeks,
It's long like eternity
Oh yes, wait when you'll come back
To shower me with kisses
And if we are lucky that he understands
In advance, to the captain, say "thanks you" for me
And if we are lucky that he understands
Give to your captain a big kiss for me
