Lyrics of All Around This World version:

Ola de la mar, Ola de la mar
The ocean is forever, like the sun, the moon and stars
Ola de la mar, ola de la march
The waves are my salvation, like the sun, the moon and stars

How I love to be a sailor, sail a boat out on the sea
I will always be a sailor for the ocean sets me free
How I love to be a sailor, sail a boat out on the sea
I will always be a sailor for the ocean sets me free
