See my slideshow for other pertinent info & history regarding this wonderful song & artist.
Here are the lyrics to the song:
(Composed by Werner Scharfenberger and Fini Busch, english words by lyricist Norman Newell, german version ("Seeman") by Lolita) - I copied this from the Internet and also had help in correcting some of the lyrics (thank you)
(Seeman, deiner Heimat ist das Meer)
Seeman, lass das traeumen
Denk nicht an zu Haus
Seeman, Wind und Wellen
Rufen dich hinaus
Deiner Heimat ist das Meer
Deiner Freunde sind die Sterne
Ueber Rio und Shanghai
Ueber Bali und Hawaii
Deiner Liebe ist dein Schiff
Deiner Sehnsucht ist die Ferne
Und nur Ihnen bist du Treu
Ein Leben lang
Seeman
Sailor, Sailor
Lass das traeumen
Your home is the deep blue sea
Denke
Your ship is your love
Nicht an mich
And the stars are your best friends
Seeman
And though you find your thrills
Denn die Fremde
In the places far away from me
Weiter
Just remember I'm always waiting
Fur auf dir
When your journey ends
Deiner Heimat ist das Meer
Deiner Freunde sind die Sterne
Ueber Rio und Shanghai
Ueber Bali und Hawaii
Deiner Liebe ist dein Schiff
Deiner Sehnsucht ist die Ferne
Und nur Ihnen bist du Treu
Ein Leben lang

I heard this song today on KDSK-FM, 92.7 MHz, Grants, New Mexico. KDSK plays music from the mid-1950s to the early 1980s. The deejays put a lot of thought and planning into their shows and don't rely on the same 200 songs that you typically hear on "oldies" stations.9 years ago

This song and Nena's 1984 hit were both translated to English and reached #1 in the UK chart (this one for Petula Clark). However the UK went for the German version of Happy Wanderer in 1954 whilst the US preferred an English translation.9 years ago
