Oh-ho when the sun go down sunflower
Turn around don't want to say goodbye
When the sun go down sunflower
Turn around don't want to say goodbye
Sunflower grieve to see it leave an empty sky
When the sun goes down sunflower
Turn around, don't want to say goodbye
Oh well I'm off to sea, my woman cling to me
Don't want to let me go
Holding me long, with her face bowed down and trembling so
Don't want me to see how much she cry for me
Don't want to let me go
Going out that day, she watch me sail away
Follow me with her eye
When I'm far from land
Still my woman stand follow me with her eye
Her little face holding me long, against the sky
And the last I see she reaching after me
It almost make me cry
