Original text and translations

English text

The sea, the sea, the glorious sea;
How pleasant it is on the sea,
When round us the billows are heaving,
And boldly our vessel is cleaving
Her path through the open sea;
The bright, the glorious sea.

The sea, the sea, the summer sea;
There’s nothing so bright as the sea,
When the rippling waters are glancing
In sun-shine like diamonds dancing;
Who does not love the sea,
The dazzling summer sea.
