Learn the secrets
Of kings and queens
Famous lovers
Interpret dreams
Powerful nations
Return to the dust
Fearful passion
Unbridled lust
Trace the borders
So many lines
Maps and orders
Land for our lives
Wild adventures
And daring escapes
Paid assassins
And the widows they make
Sail away
Say goodbye
C'est la vie
Don't you cry
Sail away
Say goodbye
C'est la vie
Don't you cry
Sail away
Sound of fury
Their battle cry
Brave or crazy
They surely will die
Another child lies
In his mother's arms
Warm and cosy
No need for alarm
Don't be alarmed
Cold and ragged
With icy feet
On these supposed
Golden streets
Where eyes pillage
The answers of time
Rise determined
To answer their cry
Sail away
Say goodbye
C'est la vie
Don't you cry
Sail away
Say goodbye
C'est la vie
Don't you cry
Sail away
Say goodbye
C'est la vie
Don't you cry
Sail away
Say goodbye
C'est la vie
Don't you cry
Sail away
Day by day
Sail away
Sail away
Sail away
Sail away
