Go To Sea No More

The Dubliners

Transposer:

[Intro]            [Verse 1] When first I landed in Liverpool I went upon a spree Me money alas I spent it fast got drunk as drunk could be And when that me money was all gone ’twas then that I wanted more But a man must be blind to make up his mind to go to sea once more [Chorus] Once more boys once more to go to sea once more But a man must be blind to make up his mind to go to sea once more [Verse 2] I spent the night with Angeline too drunk to roll in bed Me watch was new and me money too in the morning with them she fled And as I walked the streets about the whores they all did roar There goes Jack Strapp the poor sailorlad he must go to sea once more [Chorus] Once more boys once more to go to sea once more There goes Jack Strapp the poor sailorlad he must go to sea once more [Verse 3] And as I walked the streets about I met with the Rapper Brown I asked him for to take me on and he looked at me with a frown He said last time you was paid off with me you could no score But I’ll give you a chance and I’ll take your advance and I’ll send you to sea once more [Chorus] Once more boys once more to go to sea once more But I’ll give you a chance and I’ll take your advance and I’ll send you to sea once more [Verse 4] He shipped me on board of a whaling ship bound for the arctic seas Where the cold winds blow through the frost and snow and Jamaica rum would freeze But worse to bear I’d no hard weather gear for I’d spent all me money on shore ’twas then that I wished that I was dead and could go to sea no more   [Chorus] No more boys no more to go to sea no more ’twas then that I wished that I was dead and could go to sea no more   [Verse 5] So come all you bold seafaring men who listen to me song When you come off them long trips I’ll have you not go wrong Take my advice drink no strong drink don’t go sleeping with them whores Get married instead and spend all night in bed and go to sea no more [Chorus] No more boys no more to go to sea no more Get married instead and spend all night in bed and go to sea no more

Cette chanson nous raconte l’histoire d’un marin qui, après être arrivé à Liverpool, se laisse emporter par l'ivresse et dépense rapidement tout son argent. Prise de remords, il réalise que, malgré ses expériences malheureuses, il se sentira encore attiré par la mer. Au fil des rencontres dans les rues, il fait face à ses choix regrettables, notamment une nuit passée avec Angeline et les déboires qui en découlent. Le marin se retrouve finalement embarqué sur un navire baleinier, confronté à des conditions de travail rudes et sans équipement adéquat, regrettant la vie qu’il a choisie. Le contexte de cette chanson est ancré dans la vie difficile des marins, souvent confrontés aux tentations de la ville et aux réalités impitoyables de la mer. C’est un appel à la réflexion sur les choix de vie, entre les plaisirs éphémères et la stabilité d'une vie de famille. Au final, elle délivre un message simple : privilégier l’amour et la paix plutôt que les péripéties de la vie en mer.
