Farewell now my love, send me off with a kiss
Heave away, straight ahead, Santiano
The tears are as salty and deep as the sea
But my sailor's heart is keen to go

As far the wind in our sails may blow
Heave away, straight ahead Santiano
Ride the day and the heavens know
We'll be kings wherever we may go

Hoist every bit of sail, bring us to full speed
Heave away, straight ahead Santiano
Who knows what our fate may be
But the whole wide world is ours to see

As far the wind in our sails may blow
Heave away, straight ahead Santiano
Ride the day and the heavens know
We'll be kings wherever we may go

I'm fine without a roof and a house of stone
Heave away, straight ahead, Santiano
Home for me is the sea we roam
And the roof of stars is mine alone, hey

As far the wind in our sails may blow
Heave away, straight ahead Santiano
Ride the day and the heavens know
We'll be kings wherever we may go

Farewell now my love, send me off with a kiss
Heave away, straight ahead, Santiano
The tears are as salty and deep as the sea
But my sailor's heart is keen to go

As far the wind in our sails may blow
Heave away, straight ahead Santiano
Ride the day and the heavens know
We'll be kings wherever we may go

As far the wind in our sails may blow
Heave away, straight ahead Santiano (Santiano)
Ride the day and the heavens know
We'll be kings wherever we may go
