Liekedeeler [English translation]

In the seaport on the place of execution

There were seventy-three men

And the hangman shouted:

"All on your knees, with the captain I'll start!"

They are accused of piracy, in the name of justice

All are damned by the court

To death by this executioner's axe

He was the Liekedeeler, Liekedeeler

Everyone got the booty

The gentleman's friends

Enemies of the whole world

Liekedeeler, Liekedeeler

But everyone fled from his ship

The Red Devil will get your gold

As his neck was already fixed on the block

He raised his head once more

Looked around and said:

"If I can have a last wish for after that -

All the men here that I still pass by

Are to be saved from death", and then his head fell

But he still carried his head up to the eleventh comrade

He was the Liekedeeler, Liekedeeler

Everyone got the booty

The gentleman's friends

Enemies of the whole world

Liekedeeler, Liekedeeler

But everyone fled from his ship

The Red Devil will get your gold

To pick up the cargo he once stole

From the cogs on the high seas

A hundred men sought his proud boat

But it was never seen again

The pardon that was promised

With angel's tongue at his death

Were only lying, because they beheaded

Stubbornly all seventy-two men

He was the Liekedeeler, Liekedeeler

Everyone got the booty

The gentleman's friends

Enemies of the whole world

Liekedeeler, Liekedeeler

But everyone fled from his ship

The Red Devil will get your gold
