Starry.K Lyrics

Early this morning
At the start of the daybreak

I kissed her goodbye
I bid farewell with a kiss

She seemed angry at me
She appeared to be mad for some reason

But I didn't know why
I was unaware of the cause of her frustration

We knew I'd be at sea
We recognized that I would embark on a naval voyage

For a long, long while
For an extended and substantial duration

Still angry at me
Continuing to exhibit disdain towards me

When I kissed her goodbye
At the time of my farewell kiss

Now I'm leaving the Shetlands
Currently departing from the Shetland Islands

In the cover of night
Under the concealment of darkness

On the rough Northern sea
Navigating through the turbulent waters of the Northern sea

Trying to stay out of sight
Endeavoring to avoid detection

Of the German navy
Evading the military forces of Germany

Of the thundering light
Avoiding exposure to the intense light emitted by the enemy's ammunition

In the cold Winter night
During the frigid and wintery nighttime

First light of dawn
The initial appearance of daylight

I rose in despair
I woke up feeling hopeless

Because my man he was going
Due to the departure of my significant other

And war was everywhere
Additionally, the situation was characterized by pervasive conflict

Lord knows I love him
God is aware of my deep affection for him

But I gave a hard stare
However, I glared at him disapprovingly

Because my man he was going
Because he was indeed embarking on his journey

When I rose in despair
At the moment I woke up feeling forlorn

Now he sails on the warship
At present, he is aboard the naval vessel heading towards combat

On the way to Bergen
The destination is the Norwegian city of Bergen

He's out there gone helping
He's out there giving aid and support

The invaded brethren
To fellow countrymen who have been attacked

And I know that he's hurting
I'm aware that he's in emotional pain

From those goodbyes, so sullen
As a result of those melancholic farewells

While he's out there gone saving
Although he's away providing assistance

Mothers and their children
To women and their offspring

Weeks on the water
Several weeks spent on the open sea

The land is in view
The shore has appeared in sight

Her portrait in my hand
Holding her photograph in my possession

Time to part with the crew
It's now time to bid farewell to the team

When the men hit the sand
As soon as the infantry arrives on the beach

Had to fight their way through
They needed to engage in combat to progress

Only few now still stand
Only a small number have survived

As England comes into view
As England's shoreline becomes visible

Well he gave me the picture
Indeed, he entrusted me with the photograph

Of his wife, his woman
Depicting his spouse, his partner

That old lonesome sailor
That solitary elderly seaman

Then he died, by the gun
He subsequently passed away as a result of gunfire

And I see her on the harbor
I observe her on the wharf

Girl there's no need to run
You don't need to flee, my dear

I will give you my shelter
I'll provide you with my refuge

And you and I will honor
And we, together, will pay homage

Now and forever
Eternally

My sailor
My loved one who was a seafaring person
