Beyond the Sea
Robbie Williams 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 kiss 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 by Robbie Williams is a tribute to the classic romantic ballad that was originally recorded by Bobby Darin in 1959. The song speaks of a love that transcends distance and time, with the lover waiting beyond the sea, watching and waiting for the singer to sail to her. The singer speaks of his longing to fly like a bird and be reunited with his lover beyond the sea. He describes his faith that his heart will guide him to her and they will meet beyond the shore where they will be happy and never again separated.


The lyrics of the song evoke a sense of romanticism and longing for a lost love. The idea of waiting for someone who is beyond the sea is a timeless one that has been used in literature and music for centuries. This song captures the essence of this theme beautifully with its lyrics and melody.


The song has been covered by many artists over the years, including Frank Sinatra, Kevin Spacey and Michael Buble. It has also been featured in several movies, including Goodfellas, Finding Nemo and The Great Gatsby.

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailin'
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 the stars
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 as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing
I know beyond a doubt, ah
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet (I know we'll meet) beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing
No more sailing
So long sailing
Bye bye sailing

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'll go sailing
It's far, beyond the stars
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 will be beyond the sea
And never again, I'll go sailing
I know, beyond a doubt...
My heart... will lead me there soon
We'll meet, I know we'll meet, beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we will be beyond the sea...
And never again, I'll go sailing
No more sailing
So long, sailing, sailing
No more sailing
Goodbye, farewell, my friend
No more sailing
So long, sailin'
No more sailing
No more, farewell
Auf wiedersehen (to ya and ya and ya)
No more sailing
(No more) Oh, no more sailing
No more, no more
No more sailing...
No more
One more time
No more sailing...
