Joho und 'ne Buddel voll Rum [English translation]

Ten pirates were drinking on their boat

Until they were boozed up

The rum was strong

One drank himself to death

They threw him overboard

Nine pirates made for their hiding-place

Where all the treasure was missing

In their rage they hanged one

And only eight went out to sea again

Yoho, yoho, yoho, and a bottleful of rum

Yoho, yoho, yoho, and a bottleful of rum

Eight pirates became prisoners in the battle

And they all went to the gallows

Two of them were dead as soon as the moon was up

But the other six had managed to flee

Six pirates were fed up with their captain

Because he had betrayed them

The mutiny raged for hours

In the end three of them were dead

Yoho, yoho, yoho, and a bottleful of rum

Yoho, yoho, yoho, and a bottleful of rum

Three pirates steered towards a reef

With their ship sinking too fast

And just only one made it into a longboat

As for the rest, there was no one left alive

One pirate, he was taken on anew

Very soon all those ten were together

Someone had brought in the plague with him

So this is how it turned into a ghost ship

Yoho, yoho, yoho, and a bottleful of rum

Yoho, yoho, yoho, and a bottleful of rum

Yoho, yoho, yoho, and a bottleful of rum

Yoho, yoho, yoho, and a bottleful of rum

Yoho, yoho, yoho, and a bottleful of rum

Yoho, yoho, yoho, and a bottleful of rum

And a bottleful

And a bottleful

And a bottleful of rum
