Dekk Bord(original) |
| Det var en lang vinter, men til slutt blei det vår |
| Og alle mennene på skutå hadde fest |
| Ja, det var tungrodde netter og en masse blod og svette |
| Styrmannen jobbde som en hest |
| Han var en mager, liten raring som var svolten på erfaring |
| Men rasjonane var stort sett vann og korn |
| Han stod ved roret heile dagen, hadde veddemål med Skagen |
| Om raskaste veien til Capp Horn |
| Dekk bord |
| Når det var rolig på havet, me sko ha fri i frå kavet |
| Satte alle seg ner og spelte kort |
| Styrmannen delte mens resten av oss spelte |
| Og pengane skifta eigar ganske fort |
| Carlos var fortvilte mens mangen andre smilte |
| De sa; |
| «me loppe Carlos for alt han har!» |
| Og seinare når dommen falt hadde Carlos mista alt |
| Det var fordi han samla kun på spar |
| Ro, ro heim til Transylvania |
| Gløm nå personalia og andre trivialia |
| Dekk bord, send et telegram til Victoria |
| For snart komme me fram |
| Victoria, dekk bord! |
| Et par mann hadde me mista. |
| Carlos var den siste |
| Det skjedde når me låg til land i Marseilles |
| Han tapte en drikkekonkurranse mot Den Belgiske Sjimpansen |
| Og nå seile han ikkje meir |
| I Hong Kong var det kaos, me gjekk på skjær utfor Laos |
| Me trudde aldri me kom levande derifrå |
| Så kom en innfødt stamme ut og trudde skipet vært var Gud |
| Og slepte oss ut på åpent hav |
| Ro, ro heim til Transylvania |
| Gløm nå personalia og andre trivialia |
| Dekk bord, send et telegram til Victoria |
| For snart komme me fram |
| Ja, me synge |
| Ro, ro heim til Transylvania |
| Gløm nå personalia og andre trivialia |
| Dekk bord, send et telegram til Victoria |
| For snart komme me fram |
| Victoria, dekk bord! |
| (translation) |
| It was a long winter, but in the end it was spring |
| And all the men on the toe had a party |
| Yes, it was heavy nights and a lot of blood and sweat |
| The helmsman worked like a horse |
| He was a skinny, little darling who was starving on experience |
| But the rations were mostly water and grain |
| He stood at the helm all day, had bets with Skagen |
| About the fastest way to Capp Horn |
| Set the table |
| When it was calm at sea, we should have time off from the hustle and bustle |
| Everyone sat down and played cards |
| The mate shared while the rest of us played |
| And the money changes hands pretty quickly |
| Carlos was despairing while many others smiled |
| They said; |
| "Me flea Carlos for all he has!" |
| And later, when the verdict was handed down, Carlos had lost everything |
| It was because he only collected on spades |
| Calm down, calm down home to Transylvania |
| Forget now personalia and other trivia |
| Set the table, send a telegram to Victoria |
| Too soon we will arrive |
| Victoria, set the table! |
| A couple of men had lost me. |
| Carlos was the last |
| It happened when we were ashore in Marseilles |
| He lost a drinking competition against the Belgian Chimpanzee |
| And now he does not sail anymore |
| In Hong Kong there was chaos, we went on the reefs off Laos |
| We never thought we came alive from there |
| Then a native tribe came out and thought the ship was God |
| And dragged us out to sea |
| Calm down, calm down home to Transylvania |
| Forget now personalia and other trivia |
| Set the table, send a telegram to Victoria |
| Too soon we will arrive |
| Yes, I sing |
| Calm down, calm down home to Transylvania |
| Forget now personalia and other trivia |
| Set the table, send a telegram to Victoria |
| Too soon we will arrive |
| Victoria, set the table! |
