Raise the anchor, a warm wind has begun to blow
Hoist the sails, it's almost time to go
Farewell words to a fair and gentle man

Old sea captain, you'll soon be sailing again

From the shores we'll stand and watch your wake unfold

From the lighthouse, we'll send our signals so you know
You're in our prayers, with plenty of air to fill your sails
On the high ocean, through the storms you will prevail


Go well, go well
Go well old sea captain


You've been our anchor, you've been our beacon in the night
Through struggle and anger, you've shown a peaceful way to fight

Around your table, you brought together a family
I'm standing strong now 'cuz I once sat on your knee


Go well, go well
Go well old sea captain


Querido abuelo, me oyes cuando canto a tí
No he explicado lo que significas para mí
Pero cuando canto y caundo miro hacia al mar

Pensaré en tí, pensaré en tí
Pensaré en tí, I will think of you


Go well, go well
Go well old sea captain
