Beyond The Sea
Disney Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing

Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high

Then straight to her arms I'd go sailing

It's far beyond a star
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon

We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just like before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing

I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
And we'll meet, I know we'll meet beyond the shore
We'll meet just as before

Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing
No more sailing
So long, sailing, sailing, sailing
Goodbye, farewell, my friend, no more sailing
So long, sailing, no more sailing
No more, farewell
Auf Wiedersehen to you
No more sailing
No more
Oh, no more sailing
No more, no more
No more sailing

No more, one more time
No more sailing

Overall Meaning

The song "Beyond The Sea" is a timeless classic and was originally released in the 1940s. The lyrics describe the longing and yearning of a man for his lover who is waiting for him beyond the sea. The imagery used in the lyrics, such as "golden sands" and "ships that go sailing," reinforces the sense of distance between the two lovers. The man wishes he could fly like birds on high to reach his lover's arms, but recognizes that the distance is "far beyond a star" and "near beyond the moon." Despite this, he is confident that his heart will lead him to his lover soon.

The chorus of the song repeats the idea that the two will meet beyond the shore, kiss like they did before, and be happy beyond the sea. The song ends with the man saying goodbye to sailing as he looks forward to never having to sail again.

One interesting aspect of "Beyond The Sea" is that it was originally written in French as "La Mer" by Charles Trenet in 1945. The lyrics were translated into English by Jack Lawrence in 1946. The song has been covered by many artists in several different languages, including Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, and Robbie Williams. It has also been featured in numerous films and TV shows, including Finding Nemo and The Sopranos.

Line by Line Meaning

Somewhere beyond the sea
There is a place beyond the sea

Somewhere waiting for me
A place where my lover waits for me

My lover stands on golden sands
My dream lover is standing on the golden sands of this place

And watches the ships that go sailing
She is there watching the ships sail by, waiting for me to come to her

If I could fly like birds on high
If I had the ability to fly, I would go to her immediately

Then straight to her arms I'd go sailing
I would sail straight into her arms

It's far beyond a star
This place is far beyond the stars

It's near beyond the moon
Yet it is near beyond the moon

I know beyond a doubt
I am certain without doubt

My heart will lead me there soon
That my heart will guide me to this place soon

We'll meet beyond the shore
We will meet on the other side of the shore
