I've been looking for this for decades. Thank you.

My ship has sails that are made of silk
The decks are trimmed (zurechtgemacht) with gold
And of jam and spice there's a paradise in the hold
(Die Decks sind mit Gold beschmückt und im Laderaum ist ein Paradies aus Marmelade und Gewürzen)
My ship's aglow (leuchtet) with a million pearls
And rubies (Rubine) fill each bin;
The sun sits high in a sapphire sky
When my ship comes in
I can wait the years
Till it appears
One fine day one spring
But the pearls and such
They won't mean much
If there's missing just one thing:
I do not care if that day arrives
That dream need never be
If the ship I sing
Doesn't also bring
My own true love to me

Lovely!!!

Nicely done.

Merci beaucoup ⭐️

Lovely as a solo instrumental piece, but not as an accompaniment for a vocalist. We breath.

[@barbarawallez7658]

Good, but this isn’t the right tonality. You start with a re and the partition start with a do.

[@Claudg2008]

Very nice, but is not a backing track.

[@joelyloucks6555]

This particular sheet music they are using has doubling the vocal melody as part of the accompaniment.
