Disney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's hey to the starboard, heave-ho
Look out lad a mermaid be waiting for you
In mysterious fathoms below
Fathoms below, below
From whence wayward westerlies blow
Where Triton is king and his merpeople sing
Below
Below
Below, below, below
In mysterious fathoms below

Line by Line Meaning
I'll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue
Let me share a story about the vast and seemingly endless ocean.
And it's hey to the starboard, heave-ho
We're setting sail, so let's get to work and hoist the sails.
Look out lad a mermaid be waiting for you
Be alert, young man, for there may be a beautiful mermaid waiting for you in the depths of the sea.
In mysterious fathoms below
In the depths of the ocean where it's dark and full of secrets.
Fathoms below, below
Further and further we descend into the unknown depths of the sea.
From whence wayward westerlies blow
Where the wind comes from the west and blows us off course.
Where Triton is king and his merpeople sing
In the domain of Triton, the god of the sea, where the merpeople sing and swim free.
In mysterious fathoms below
Once again, we find ourselves in the dark and enigmatic depths of the ocean.
Below
We continue to descend, deeper into the unknown.
Below, below, below
Deeper and deeper still we go, into the depths of the sea and its mysteries.
In mysterious fathoms below
And yet again, we find ourselves in the dark, mysterious depths of the ocean.

@crazychrislovesretics6790
You lot are delusional! It's pathetic, why have the old man played by a black man too? He was an old white bloke. The set looks like it was built for a school play!
