There was a song called Sailor that was popular a few years ago. It was
an English translation of a German song Zeaman (Seaman). I am
interested in getting both the English and German lyrics.

Here are the German lyrics to Sailor (your home is the sea) or Seaman as it is
also known. I'm afraid I don't have the English lyrics.Seemann, deine Heimat
ist das Meer.
Seemann, laß das Träumen, denk' nicht an zuhaus.
Seemann, Wind und Wellen rufen dich hinaus:
Refrain:
Deine Heimat ist das Meer,
Deine Freunde sind die Sterne
Über Rio und Shanghai,
Über Bali und Hawai.
Deine Liebe ist dein Schiff,
Deine Sehnsucht ist die Ferne,
Und nur ihnen bist du treu ein Leben lang.
2. Seemann, laß das Träumen, denke nicht an mich.
Seemann, denn die Fremde wartet schon auf dich.
Refrain:

These are the english lyrics my stepmother used to sing.

Sailor stop your roaming
Sailor leave the sea
Sailor when the tide turns
Come home safely to me

As you sail across the sea
Oh my love is there to guide you
In Capri or Amsterdam
Honolulu or Siam

Through the harbours of my heart
I will send my love to guide you
As you call across the sea
Come home to me

Whoa...
Found this in my song archives...

SAILOR
Sailor stop your wand'ring, Sailor out at sea,
think now of your homeland, think now a thought of me.
[chorus]
Though your home is on the sea and your ship is your new lover
and the stars that send the light, are your friends throughout the night.
Oh I know you find your thrills, in the seven seas you sail on,
but I'm lonesome and I yearn for your return.
[V2]
Sailor stop your dreaming, Sailor out at sea,
think now of your true love, think now a thought of me.

Where did you get these lyrics?

Folk music is so amazing. These Lyrics are completely different from the
ones I've always known.

Dear Sir, I think the English lyrics from Lolita's version would be as follows:
(It's inserted to each German lyric piece in the 2nd part)

Sailor, Sailor
Your home is the deep blue sea
Your ship is your love
And the stars are your best friends

And though you find your thrills
In the places far away from me
Just remember I'm always waiting
When your journey ends.
