I want to rule the islands
And I want to rule the sea
But if you're not coming back
I will sleep eternally
And I want no heavy diamonds
And pearls crush my teeth
I just want my sailor
To sail back to me
Captain has a treasure
He says I hold the key
But old mangroves and sweet winds blow songs
To you and me
I want to rule the islands
And I want to rule the sea
But if you're not coming back
I will sleep eternally
And I want to rule the sea
But if you're not coming back
I will sleep eternally
And pearls crush my teeth
I just want my sailor
To sail back to me
He says I hold the key
But old mangroves and sweet winds blow songs
To you and me
And I want to rule the sea
But if you're not coming back
I will sleep eternally

as far as meaning goes im not sure. I hated the music to this song but i love the lyrics.
the captain is a new person who's got interest in her, and there are many oppurtunities awaiting her, but none of this matters when compared with the past lover.
exactly, she's remembering her love, who's gone. She wants him to come back to her because this new "captain' isn't even close to him, "But if you're not coming back, I will sleep eternally".Nobody else can replace him.
