Beyond the Sea is a contemporary pop romantic love song. Originally produced in 1946, it was later sung by Bobby Darin in 1959. The melody is taken from "La Mer", by Charles Trenet.
In the mid-1980s, the Darin version of this song was featured as a music video on DTV, featuring clips of such classic Disney cartoons such as Sea Scouts, Tugboat Mickey, and Boat Builders.
Robbie Williams performed a cover for the closing credits to Disney/Pixar's 2003 animated film, Finding Nemo. An instrumental of this is played at Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage, both in the queue and at the very end of the ride itself as the subs pull up to the unload dock. In the 2016 sequel, however, the song was only heard in the teaser trailer for the film and not during the credits; instead, the song heard during the credits was "Unforgettable" performed by Sia.
Kermit the Frog and Pepe the King Prawn performed the song in the Disney Xtreme Digital short "Kermit and Pepe at the Grammy Awards".
Lyrics
Somewhere beyond the sea,
Somewhere waitin' for me,
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing
Somewhere beyond the sea,
She's (He's) there watchin' for me.
If I could fly like birds up high,
Then straight to his (her) arms
I'd go sailing
It's far beyond the stars,
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet beyond the shore,
We'll kiss just as before.
Happy we'll be beyond the sea,
And never again
I'll go sailing!
(instrumental)
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
Oh, we'll meet, I know we'll meet beyond the shore,
We'll kiss just as before.
Happy we'll be beyond the sea,
And never again
I'll go sailing!
No more sailing
So long, sailing, sailing
No more sailing
Goodbye, farewell, my friend
No more sailing
So long, sailing
No more sailing
No more, farewell
Auf Wiedersehen to you
No more sailing
No more
Oh, no more sailing
No more, no more
No more sailing
No more, one more time
No more sailing
