Charles Louis Dominique Pierre Buchard
True to the breed that bore him
Answered the call that held him thrall
His father's heart before him
Charles Louis Dominique sailed away
Further than love could find him
Yet through the night he heard a light
And gentle voice behind him say
Matelot, Matelot
Where you go my thoughts go with you
Matelot, Matelot
When you go down to the sea
As you gaze from afar
On the evening star
Wherever you may roam
You will remember the light
Through the winter night
That guides you safely home
Though you find womankind to be frail
One love cannot fail, my son
Till our days are done
Matelot, Matelot
Where you go my thoughts go with you
Matelot, Matelot
When you go down to the sea
True to the breed that bore him
Answered the call that held him thrall
His father's heart before him
Charles Louis Dominique sailed away
Further than love could find him
Yet through the night he heard a light
And gentle voice behind him say
Matelot, Matelot
Where you go my thoughts go with you
Matelot, Matelot
When you go down to the sea
As you gaze from afar
On the evening star
Wherever you may roam
You will remember the light
Through the winter night
That guides you safely home
Though you find womankind to be frail
One love cannot fail, my son
Till our days are done
Matelot, Matelot
Where you go my thoughts go with you
Matelot, Matelot
When you go down to the sea
