Van Der Decken's Triumph |
«Weigh the anchor and hoist the sails! |
Work harder ye drunken snails! |
For treasury like pepper as gold |
Let this nautical voyage begin |
We are powered by strong European winds» |
The triumph of The United Dutch East-India Company |
We run a monopoly: spice trade, violence and slavery |
«Full speed ahead!» |
He’s hollering as if he is mad |
This ship is captained by a successful psychopath |
Fearless, no conscience |
The infamous Captain Van Der Decken |
So obsessed to be best, nothing less |
A crude master yet staunch, refusing to back away from any |
Kind of tumult |
For mace, nutmeg, clove and cinnamon |
For silk, porcelain, ivory and opium |
Victoriously sails the VOC! |
Through the foulest gates, along dangerous reefs and |
Treacherous bays. |
Respect and obedience |
Under his command they felt challenged but safe |
Determination and greed is what he felt |
Possessed and focused on profit and wealth |
«Weigh the anchor and hoist the sails! |
Work harder ye drunken snails! |
For treasury like pepper as gold |
Let this nautical voyage begin |
We are powered by strong European winds» |
«Bring me the rum |
To celebrate the fortunes to come |
Let us sing and drink on a rich and glorious time |
For we shall succeed just like this harmonious rhyme» |
