Текст песни: Tears of Goodbye + перевод

I’ve sailed on this sea longer than I recall

And enjoyed more than most men can say

I’ve danced with the dutchess and dined with the king

And’ve been welcome in most any bay

And every last sunset I’ve taken as mine

Whether red sky or blue I’ve sailed free

And day after long day I’ve given my best

And the best you’ve all given to me

But my hands now grown tired of harness

at sea. To lay down my mantle with pride.

To take up my wife and the softness she

keeps. To lay down my head by her side.

Ive had tears of pain, and I’ve had tears of joy

Ive seen tears from a young child’s eyes

But it’s nothing to the tears of goodbye

I’ve sang out my plea and brought the crew to my home

I’ve drained countless bottles of meade

And I’ve banged many mugs and sailed on the foam

From Australia to Old Maui

With Pillows and Madams and Beggars alike

To Lasses and Revelers, I sang

From lands in the north with the chill of the lake

And warmth in the southern most ways

But my crew grows restless to sail

many miles. A journey I no longer crave

I bid ye farewell until we meet

again. May the sorrow of parting be saved!

Ive had tears of pain, boy and tears of joy

I’ve seen tears from a young child’s eyes

But nothing compares to the pain that I feel

From the tears of a last goodbye
