    its mt 39th year of going to sea. I have lost track of the number of times I have made landfall at scilly or ushant. .. its always a good feeling having made it across the Atlantic and you can seek comfort being in the channel after a rough crossing. the song bring back some good memories. thanks from an old Cap'n

    When I was recovering in hospital from sepsis, one of the nurses who saved my life was a beautiful Spanish girl named Belen. L fell desperately in love with her. This lovely Spanish Lady always makes me think of her. Thank you Helena.

    Really great cover Helena. This song is such a man's song about the pain of having to leave your woman and making that choice between your commitment someone you love and commitment to your country. About living with a bunch of other guys in an enclosed space like a ship and how thinking about your lady can give you solace. Totally changes the perspective when a woman does a version of the song. Can't help but think about what the woman is thinking about having her man go away for a long time. Even better having a Spanish Lady sing it just kind of deepens that. Thanks so much again.

    • @Tsotha

    The phrasing is immaculate, particularly on the line "from Ushant to Scilly is 35 leagues" . Really brings out the melancholy and wistfulness of this shanty, not so obvious in other versions.

    Oh this is very lovely! I stumbled upon it while looking for Spanish Ladies, and then I listened to your other songs and they're all really good! Will be forwarding this to my sea shanty fan friends. Please do more sea shanties! I recommend the Mingulay Boat Song! We used to sing it on peaceful evenings at sunset when I was on the sailing vessel Hawaiian Chieftain.
