Lolita - Sailor, Your Home Is The Sea (U.S. hit version 1960)

Lolita passed away on June 30, 2010 at the age of 79, due to cancer.
See my slideshow for other pertinent info & history regarding this wonderful song & artist.
Here are the lyrics to the song:
(Composed by Werner Scharfenberger and Fini Busch, english words by lyricist Norman Newell, german version ("Seeman") by Lolita) - I copied this from the Internet and also had help in correcting some of the lyrics (thank you)

(Seeman, deiner Heimat ist das Meer)

Seeman, lass das traeumen
Denk nicht an zu Haus
Seeman, Wind und Wellen
Rufen dich hinaus

Deiner Heimat ist das Meer
Deiner Freunde sind die Sterne
Ueber Rio und Shanghai
Ueber Bali und Hawaii
Deiner Liebe ist dein Schiff
Deiner Sehnsucht ist die Ferne
Und nur Ihnen bist du Treu
Ein Leben lang

Seeman
Sailor, Sailor
Lass das traeumen
Your home is the deep blue sea
Denke
Your ship is your love
Nicht an mich
And the stars are your best friends
Seeman
And though you find your thrills
Denn die Fremde
In the places far away from me
Weiter
Just remember I'm always waiting
Fur auf dir
When your journey ends

Deiner Heimat ist das Meer
Deiner Freunde sind die Sterne
Ueber Rio und Shanghai
Ueber Bali und Hawaii
Deiner Liebe ist dein Schiff
Deiner Sehnsucht ist die Ferne
Und nur Ihnen bist du Treu
Ein Leben lang

I am so saddened to hear of her passing. I remember when I first heard her hit song, Sailor-Sailor, to hear her singing it brightens my day... All our love for giving so much to the world, Edith..

This is a great song and a very nice presentation. I'd forgotten all about it until tonight when I was looking over the Top 100 list for 1960. This sure belongs on the list! Thanks for the upload.

I'm 27 and I first heard this song about 4 years ago on WQZS 93.3 out of Meyersdale, PA. For a long time I listened almost daily for them to play this song and a few others that no other stations ever play. It took me a few years before I actually found out who sang this song and what the name was. I get tired of most oldies stations playing the same songs over and over when there are so many other good songs like this that are never played.
