Schipmann [English translation]

Welcome my dear friend

Tell us how it went for you.

No effort have you spared

To reach your homeland.

Come and dance in our circle!

Come and dance with your girl!

You have travelled far enough.

Today dance as for your life!

Shipman sing for us your song.

Shipman play us your tune.

Sing the old melody,

Take us with you on your journey!

Shipman sing for us your song.

Let us hear your tune.

Sing the old melody,

Take us with you on your journey!

All the years you were gone,

Your sweetheart full of worries

And we hang on your word,

Because your way was hidden to us

Look around you, you are home.

Today everyone is here together.

Once, years ago you set off,

Now a celebration should receive you.

Shipman sing for us your song.

Shipman play us your tune.

Sing the old melody,

Take us with you on your journey!

Shipman sing for us your song.

Let us hear your tune.

Sing the old melody,

Take us with you on your journey!

Years have passed in the storm!

Today we drink together.

Today, Shipman, you have returned.

Sing just like we sang before.

Of the crew, of the seas!

Today we drink together.

Today, Shipman, to honour you!

Years have passed in the storm!

Come and be quiet with us for those

Who remained at sea

Today we think of them.

The deep gives them peace.

Like we are together today

They will live on in us.

Let us dance. Friends, drink

to the time given to us.

Shipman sing for us your song.

Shipman play us your tune.

Sing the old melody,

Take us with you on your journey!

Shipman sing for us your song.

Let us hear your tune.

Sing the old melody,

Take us with you on your journey!

Take us with you on your journey!
