Oh, when the sun go down, sunflower, turn around, don't want to say good-bye. Sunflower, grieve to see it leave an empty sky. Child, oh, when the sun go down, sunflower, turn around, don't want to say good-bye. Oh, when I'm on to sea, my woman cling to me, don't want to let me go. I said I'm on to sea, yes, my woman cling to me, don't want to let me go. Holding me long, how with her face bowed down and trembling so, don't want me to see how much she cry for me, don't want to let me go. Going out the bay, she watch me sail away, follow me with her eye. When I'm far from land, oh, still my woman stand, follow me with her eye. Her little face holding me long against the sky, and the last I see, she reaching after me, it almost make me cry. When the sun go down, sunflower, turn around, don't want to say good-bye. When the sun go down, sunflower, turn around, don't want to say good-bye. Sunflower, grieve to see it leave an empty sky. When the sun go down, sunflower, turn around, don't want to say good-bye.
