Deep-sea captain
I only kiss bottles
I've sailed every sea
Yeah but alone it's not the same
And I drink down in the hold
Out of nowhere, you appear
You shock me, you hurt me
By changing everything I am
You're not my type, I don't get it
Inside my heart I hear a voice
Billions of blue blistering barnacles!
It's you Tintin I love so much
Billions of blue blistering barnacles!
I'm sick of Castafiore
I'd never felt this before
Fragile and so strong at once
Who would've believed in feelings
In the holds of the Karaboudjan
And since, in all your adventures
We keep all this really low-key
I tag along, acting tough
Even though I admire you in secret
And we laugh at stereotypes
I know that when night comes back
The sailor and the pipsqueak
End up alone at Marlinspike
Twenty years ago I didn't see myself
Me, in love with a man-child
Billions of blue blistering barnacles!
It's you Tintin I love so much
Billions of blue blistering barnacles!
I'm sick of Castafiore
I'd never felt this before
Fragile and so strong at once
I'll love you all my life
From Peru to the peak of Tibet
I'll follow you to world's end
I'm so scared you'll meet some blonde
And we'll grow old side by side
In djellaba, in spacesuit
And if I grumble, it's for show
Just to look like I'm macho
But I only love the tender times
Or when you let me hold you
Billions of blue blistering barnacles!
It's you Tintin I love so much
Billions of blue blistering barnacles!
I'll love you till I die
And if someday, in the future
Someone writes our adventures
I make a simple wish
That he doesn't hide our love anymore
