Mary Lo
* sł. i muz., Dariusz Raczycki, tłum. Witold Hrycyk
Sail away, oh Sweet Mary, ´cross the ocean will you skim
all around the world chasing the sun
Sail away, oh Sweet Mary, go dancing with the wind
there is nothing that´ll stop you in your run
You remember (the) first day when you put your foot on board
and you felt like here´s where you belong
and you let her lead the dance and the troubles were no more
all you wanted was to sail hard and long
Sail away, oh Sweet Mary…
Had a whole bunch of captains, every one in love with me
even though I´d say I am not an easy kind
many boards got loose, handrails crappy as can be
But the storm´s around – no better boat you´ll find
Sail away, oh Sweet Mary…
Every sea port knows your name, many sailors dream of you
your sleek figure is really next to none
you´re not young anymore but you still rock and its true
you keep sailing and still having real fun.
Sail away, oh Sweet Mary…
Have a hundred coats of paint worn out by the sun and snow
like a lady with a hundred and one dress
but we´ll always think of you as the sweet Mary Lo
anytime want me on board, I´ll say ´Yes´!
Sail away, oh Sweet Mary…
