Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ueber Rio und Shanghai
ueber Bali und Hawaii
deine liebe ist dein schiff
And the stars are your best friends
And though you find your thrills in the places far away from me
Just remember I'm always waiting when your journey ends




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lolita's song Sailor embody the longing and loyalty of a lover left behind while their significant other embarks on a journey. The lyrics are full of imagery of exotic and distant places, emphasizing the traveler's freedom and the sense of adventure that their journey represents. The line "your love is your ship" suggests that the traveler's primary motivation for their journey is their passion for exploration rather than any obligation to the singer. However, the singer reminds the traveler that they will be waiting for them when their journey ends, implying that their love is steadfast even in the face of distance and separation.


The imagery of the stars as the traveler's "best friends" speaks to the idea that the traveler is alone in their journey. This line could suggest that the traveler feels most at home when they are far away from the people they know and love, finding solace in the vast expanse of the universe. However, the singer's reassurance that they will be waiting for their return suggests that the traveler's relationship with the singer is an important anchor in their life, even if they are physically far apart.


Overall, the lyrics to Sailor are a poignant expression of the complexity of love and relationships in the face of distance and diverging paths.
