Schlafes Bruder [English translation]

Pre-Chorus

Brother of sleep

Far from shore

Veil of fog

Clothe yourself

Work the oar

Brother of sleep

On course

For the crescent moon

Verse 1

High waves roll in the bitter-cold night

Bursting into the heavens, the seas are awakened

Pale skulls dance roundel with the rain

The storm whistles seaman's songs

Boy come back soon

Refrain

Brother of sleep - work the oar

La - la - la - la - Ahoi - Hohai

Work the oar - brother of sleep

La la - Hohai – Ahoi

Verse 2

The gunports lift the cannonier high in the old manner

The fuse glows like a thunderclap

A flower of lightening blossoms

Likedeeler Likedeeler 1 the braids are tarred

Sparks fly, the captain

Sharpens his scythe

[Refrain]

[Pre-Chorus]

[Refrain]

1. The Likedeeler were a band of medieval German pirates active in the North and Baltic Seas
