Before: The sailor she loved was committed to the sea and couldn’t love her back.

After: The sailor she loved thought she was a fine girl, but his wife, his lover, his lady, was the sea.

Sea sick is temporary

Love sick is forever

The sailor she loved thought she was a fine girl, but his wife, his lover, his lady, was the sea.

The girl in this tune has a similar problem. To the sailor she loves, his home is the ocean, his friends are the stars over Bali, Shanghai, Lima, and Hawaii, his love is his ship and he is addicted to long voyages. Frustrated and ready to give up on him, she tells him not to think about her anymore.

Interestingly, this hit song comes from Austria, which has no seacoast.
