Édith Piaf - Partance (English translation)

English

Translation

Outbound

{Him:}

The wind picks up, ho hey, the guys

Cast the tether, here we go

Heave away, heave away, heave away and away

{Her:}

My sweet pleasure, my handsome lover,

You carry my glory by going away

Heave away, heave away, I have the big heart

{Him:}

We drank everything, spent everything

What we had so much trouble gaining

Heave away, heave away, heave away and away

{Her:}

My handsome sailor, you have no mercy

It's not money we will regret

Heave away, heave away, I have the big heart

{Him:}

And you, girl, you had love

The sea calls us in turn

Heave away, heave away, heave away and away

{Her:}

You'll have, sailor, many torments

The sea, this bitch, has other lovers

Heave away, heave away, I have the big heart

{Him:}

Those who are wandering are not jealous

And there are beautiful girls everywhere

Heave away, heave away, heave away and away

The wind picks up, ho hey, the guys

Cast the tether, here we go

Heave away, heave away, heave away and away
