In my opinion, the last thing the world needs is another love song. Therefore, I'm pointing out that the words to the Connie Francis song mentioned above are all wrong as a translation of "Seeman."

"Seeman" acknowledges that the sailor has no desire for a home or a lover. His home is the sea, his goal is the horizon, and his friends are the stars.

It is a refreshing change.

I studied German in high school and we sang this song. It was so exciting to be able to understand "a real song"!
