Sting - Valparaiso Lyrics
Chase the dog star
Over the sea
Home where my true love is waiting for me
Rope the south wind
Canvas the stars
So she can safely go
Round the Cape Horn to Valparaiso
Red the port light
Starboard the green
How will she know of the devils I've seen
Cross in the sky, star of the sea
Under the moonlight, there she can safely go
Round the Cape Horn to Valparaiso
Valparaiso
And every road I walked would take me down to the sea
With every broken promise in my sack
And every love would always send the ship of my heart
Over the rolling sea
If I should die
And water's my grave
She'll never know if I'm damned or I'm saved
See the ghost fly over the sea
Under the moonlight, there she can safely go
Round the Cape Horn to Valparaiso
Valparaiso
Valparaiso
Valparaiso

Sting Valparaiso Comments
this is one of the best songs I have ever listened in my life

One of the best bass lines ever on the outro. The groove!
Hauntingly beautiful

This song makes me nostalgic for a place I've never been to before.
👍👍

Sounds like paradise. Need to get out of Detroit

운전하며 자주 듣는 곡이다 시리우스!
I’ve loved this song ever since I saw the movie White Squall in 1996. Now I have been a sailor for 14 years and this is still my favorite song to sing when I’m topside at night while the ship is underway.
At 2:0 minute , greatest singing ever . Xxx
how good is this guy just a genius
la agrupacion police antes de recibir el primer grammy se presentaron en viña del mar provincia de valparaiso en la epoca de los 80
needs a video.........he can afford it........
"see the ghost fly" and all that.........should have a video.....
course, we're sposed to be able to imagine that ourselves,
Damals, als Sting noch gute Musik gemacht hat...
it always amazes me how intelligent sting's lyrics are.....and yet it turns out, he's a toadal maroon......must be writing in his sleep, or something.....perhaps he lives in terry pratchett's discworld........who knows......wish he could learn from his songs......
The Best! So great memories!
Very nice song
I doubt that sting ever been to Valparaiso, the song sounds Irish, it’s a great song though great musicians, if you want to hear another great Valparaiso song from a Valparaiso born guy, good friend of mine that Rest In Peace, please listen to Claudio otey - Valparaiso
2:33 hope not before my die...
I cant believe you sting...
Stunning photo!
we have nothing to fear but the fear of unknown-death .
What am I missing. Cape Horn is in Africa, Valparaiso South America. Cape of Good Hope is the southern most tip of South America.
omegapointil You have that mixed up... Cape Horn is in South America... Cape of Good Hope is South Africa...
omegapointil your missing everything
Since you asked, validity to your entire argument. It’s only a click away. You’re missing any validity and two very simple google searches.
Beautiful
VAL PARAISOOOU....
whenever I look at the ocean....whenever I see....red the port light, starboard the green.....
This song belongs to you Suzanne. I miss you so much! I love you.
To the enth degree and beyond. Isn;t that where we all go STING?
is this an original by sting or an old song?
Yapeseguy
Old song...
it's " VAL- PA-RAI-ISO " not Valpariso.

Mish!!!...no tenia idea :)...2 song for chile :)
I am here after seeing the movie "White squall" by ridley scott
"Un verdadero solo necesita las estrellas para navegar".
One of my favorites.
un eco en la eternidad mi amado puerto
always loved this song.
That's most definitely not how you pronounce Valparaiso!
リドリー・スコットの映画 ”白い嵐” の挿入歌で聞きました。
I thought it was "vapor I soar." This never made sense.
A most lovely song and especially if you have yourself gone round the Cape Horn and been to Valparaiso. Ole Aagaard - Master Mariner

BONITA LA MUSICA,LO QUE NO ME GUSTO QUE NUNCA PRONUNCIO BIEN VALPARAISO
I am not a big Sting fan but I love this song,
Daniel Droukis It's OK. 😁😉
Va al paraiso.
Love sting's nautical tunes..like this and his songs off soul cages.
+IAN HANNON me too ... incredible songwriter :D
chase the dog star
over the sea
home when my true love is waiting for me
rope the south wing
canvas the stars
harness the moonlight
so she can safety go
round of cape horn to valparaiso
red the port line
starboard the green
how will she know of the devils i've seen
cross in the sky
star of the sea
under the moonlight
there she can safety go
round of cape horn to valparaiso
valparaiso
and every road i've walked would take me down to the sea
with every broken promise in my sack
and every love would always send the ship of my heart
over the rolling sea
if i should die
and water's is my grave
she'll never know if i'm damned or i'm saved
see the ghost fly over the sea
under the moonlight
there she can safety go
round of cape horn to valparaiso
valparaiso

Love it.
safety = safely?
Beautiful song.Great voice .Great singer and person.Just love Sting.
Bought this song on iTunes and the download sucks. It skips every 10 seconds. Great song though, but the end dosent fit with the rest of the song.
Was there in 1999, what a great city! I'll never forget it.....
The dog star - is Sirus...
That's the reason I feel connected to this song.

Interesting discussion. ... and I mean that in the purest way.
¡Viva Valparaíso!, ¡Viva Chile!.
Anyone else thinking yo ho ho and a bottle of rum :)
The essence of the man. One of the Great and True songs of an Artist of amazing vision when called for.
Nice song.
One of my favourite Sting songs! xx
Душевная песня !
Found this off of 'White Squall'
me too, im crying everytime i hear it. In front of my eyes i see that time when they come up to that hill and write their names in the book.
First time I heard this song as well.....
same! ......x :(

Damn, I really liked that movie (Jeff is one of my favorite actors of all-time), but I don't remember this song. Maybe I can YT the scene in which it plays. I love the ocean picture above, btw. Peace & Love to ALL.
I think it plays during the closing credits. From what I understand, the song was not written for the film, but they felt it was a good fit.
szép dal
What a great song! a little sad, but it´s a great input that a star like Sting dedicated a song to our port. Thank you Sting for every thing you did for our country in difficult moments! we hope to see you again in our stages. Greatings from Chile!!
This is a real sailor's song. Navy men know what I'm saying. We've lived the verses of this and other sailor songs.
Good shot...friend
For some strange reason this song reminds me of Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis by Ralph Vaughan Williams.
I don't know if its because Master and Commander used that for the music when they rounded Cape Horn and had to leave that seaman to drown......
Which year ? , my father and grand granfather too , Clippers age and then Steamship era ..
im from valparaiso this song remind me my streets and the hills of my fomer home....valparaiso valparaiso....
valparaiso chile south america
i used to live there in playa ancha
super
My grandfather sailed round the Cape Horn from Valparaiso to Rio, New York, Bristol and back.... Valparaiso literally means 'to go to Paradise' and it's Chile's oldest Port. A great song...
doce lembrança
Sting has traveled so far since Dune, and would say his journey in music has found him here.
An amazingly evocative and melancholy song. Sting's voice was perfect for this song, and the arrangement is excellent,underscoring but never overwhelming the voice. It's a wonderful moment when the drums come in at " if I should die" , a real possibility in the era of sail ships. It was used very poignantly at the end of the Jeff Bridges film, White Squall.
Beautiful song, beautiful rendition. Ultimate respect for mother nature and the sea.
Letting go when Mother Nature decides that She is in charge. One of the hardest things for Arrogant Man to understand. Powerless even in the era of superior Human Logic. (But one of the more important lessons to be learned by those who question Her power.) And the Ocean is the most obvious examples of where She rules. (Or Neptune, if you are into that.) Is it any wonder that people have held superstitions about Nature and its ultimate power for millenia?
Please make this song available for mobile....... great song !!
why the jazzy end, sting?? you think you can make me forget the unbearably sad beauty of what went before?
LINDO VALPARAISO
White Squall is a great movie base on a true story....this song is part of it...
great song !!!
its just beautiful.
Who's the owner of this song?
im from valparaiso <3
I have always loved this song, ever since I first heard it over 50 years ago. This version by Sting is lovely.
When I first heard it, the hair on the back of my neck stood up...I could feel his intensity and earnest longing. Sting is an icon, I am so lucky he has been with me though out my musical life, I can't imagine growing up without the Police...he is unbelievable.
Hermoso
( Beutifful )
This song is about the dangers of being a sailor before the opening of the panama canal, and having to sail around the horn, Valparaiso being the port city on the other side, where he would be safe
White Squall.
lissen to some real hip hop
I'm loving it...
Im in Valparaiso and this song rings true... at least when it was at its peak in the early 1900's... and this was the city before the Panama Canal was built... and all the ships used to come around the Cape ( Horn ) at the tip of South America.
nice and so deeply song
adoro esta musica parabens sr, sting
