| Hab' die ganze Welt geseh'n
| I've seen the whole world
|
| Von Singapur bis Aberdeen
| From Singapore to Aberdeen
|
| Wenn du mich fragst wo's am schönsten war
| If you ask me where it was the most beautiful
|
| Sag' ich Sansibar!
| I say Zanzibar!
|
| Es war 'ne harte Überfahrt
| It was a tough crossing
|
| Zehn Wochen nur das Deck geschrubbt
| Ten weeks just scrubbing the deck
|
| Hab' die Welt verflucht
| cursed the world
|
| In den Wind gespuckt
| Spit in the wind
|
| Und salziges Wasser geschluckt!
| And swallowed salty water!
|
| Als wir den Anker warfen war es himmlische Ruh'
| When we dropped the anchor it was heavenly peace
|
| Und die Sonne stand senkrecht am Himmel
| And the sun was vertical in the sky
|
| Als ich über die Reeling sah
| As I looked over the railing
|
| Da glaubte ich zu träumen
| Then I thought I was dreaming
|
| Da war'n tausend Boote und sie hielten auf uns zu!
| There were a thousand boats and they were heading towards us!
|
| In den Booten waren Männer und Frau'n
| In the boats were men and women
|
| Ihre Leiber glänzten in der Sonne
| Their bodies shone in the sun
|
| Und sie sangen ein Lied
| And they sang a song
|
| Das kam mir seltsam bekannt vor
| That seemed strangely familiar to me
|
| Aber so hab' ich's noch nie gehört
| But I've never heard it like that
|
| Uhhhh, so hab' ich's noch nie gehört!
| Uhhhh, I've never heard it like that!

|
| Ihre Boote machten längsseits fest
| Their boats moored alongside
|
| Und mit dem Wind wehte Gelächter herüber
| And laughter blew across with the wind
|
| Sie nahmen ihre Blumenkränze ab
| They took off their wreaths of flowers
|
| Und warfen sie zu uns herüber
| And threw them over to us
|
| Hehhhh, und schon war die Party im Gange!
| Hehhhh, and the party was on!
|
| Aloha heja he
| Aloha hey hey
|
| Aloha heja he, aloha heja he
| Aloha hey hey, aloha hey hey
|
| Aloha heja he

| Aloha hey hey, aloha hey hey
|
| Ich hab' das Paradies geseh'n
| I've seen paradise
|
| Es war um neunzehnhundertzehn!
| It was nineteen hundred and ten!
|
| Der Steuermann hatte Matrosen am Mast
| The helmsman had sailors on the mast
|
| Und den Zahlmeister ha'm die Gonokokken vernascht
| And the purser was eaten by the gonococci
|
| Aber sonst war'n wir bei bester Gesundheit!
| But otherwise we were in the best of health!
