Rungholt [English translation]

From the Noth Sea to the murder sea

Divorced from the mainland

The Frisian Islands are at peace

And testify to the world-destroying rage

Diving Hallig on Hallig from fleeing Flood

Defiance of Naked Hans

Oh Defiance of Naked Hans*

In the middle of the ocean is sleeping 'til the hour

A Monster deep on the ground

He breathes deeply for six hours

Rungholt is shouting out loud your Name

Rungholt is shouting out over the sea

Rungholt is shouting since thousand years

Naked Hans we defiance you

Defiance of Naked Hans

Oh Defiance of Naked Hans*

On Rungholts Market at all his alleys

Loud People drunken Mass

They went out onto the dike

We defiance you naked Hans North Sea dike

Rungholt is shouting out loud your Name

Rungholt is shouting out over the sea

Rungholt is shouting since thousand years

Naked Hans we defiance you

Defiance of Naked Hans

Oh Defiance of Naked Hans*

And how they clench their fists

And raise them against the ocean

Comes silently out of the mud

The octopus the claws

And rushing, black, long-lamented wave

Are coming like raging steeds

A single shouting - the City submerged

And houndredthousand People drowned

Today i was sailing over Rungholt

The City submerged some years ago

Rungholt is shouting out loud your Name

Rungholt is shouting out over the sea

Rungholt is shouting since thousand years

Naked Hans we defiance you

Rungholt is shouting!

Rungholt is shouting!

Rungholt is shouting!

Defiance of Naked Hans

Oh Defiance of Naked Hans*
