It was a long winter, but spring came in the end,
and everyone on the boat had a party
There were [overgrown] nets and a lot of blood and sweat.
The Captain worked like a horse
He was a skinny little weirdo with a hunger for experience
but the rations were mostly water and seeds.
He stood by the rudder the whole day, and had a bet with Skagen about which way was the quickest to Capp Horn.
Lay the table.
When the ocean was calm, we were to have a break from the craziness,
Everyone sat down to play cards.
The captain gave out the cards, and the rest of us played,
and the money changed hands pretty quickly
Carlos despaired while the others smiled,
they said: we'll take everything Carlos has
And later when the judgement was made, carlos had lost everything.
It was because he only collected the spades.
Row home to Transylvania
Forget personalities and trivialities
Lay the table, send a telegram to Victoria
because we are almost there.
Victoria, lay the table.
De'd lost a couple of men; Carlos was the last
It happened when we came to Marseilles
He lost a drinking contest against The Belgian Chimpanzee,
so now he isn't sailing any more.
It was chaos in Hong Kong, we struck a rock by Laos.
We thought we'd never get away from there,
but then a native tribe came out and thought our ship was God
and pushed us out on the open sea.
This song is about some sailors traveling around the globe and some of their crazy mishaps. Most importantly its about going home.
It's just a funny song. :)
The Sentence Dekk Bord is rather difficult as it is from a story of a table that magically gets plates and food on it (if I remember it correctly...). The most direct way to translate would be "Fill Table!", but that doesn't make much sense.
