Jutlandia [English translation]

It was in 1949 or around that time

When there was war in Korea

The ship was called Jutlandia and it went far and wide

For there was war in Korea

Equipped from cellar to floor

As a floating hospital

Hey-ho for Jutlandia

She comes as called to the battle

At home the hunter is home from his hunt

And the sailor is home from the sea

When the boys go to war, the women sail by

On the red cross-painted ships

And Lili Marleen sings “Auf Wiedersehn”

When they die like flies

The canons play first violin

C’mon soldier - sing along!

Hey-ho for Jutlandia

She comes as called to the battle

At home the hunter is home from his hunt

And the sailor is home from the sea

She sails through the night with all her children

Alive and dead

White like a virgin and brave like an eagle

She goes to meet the war

Nurse of 16 years

Tend to the soldiers’ wounds

Hey-ho for Jutlandia

She comes as called to the battle

At home the hunter is home from his hunt

And the sailor is home from the sea

Hey-ho for Jutlandia

She comes as called to the battle

At home the hunter is home from his hunt

And the sailor is home from the sea
