Störtebeker [English translation]

Störtebeker is his name

And we are his brothers

The jolly roger on our flag

We loudly sing thieving songs

Kneeling before the altar on a sunday

Was never really our thing

From Helgoland even up to Rügen

Everyone knows who we are

Friend of God and all the world's enemy

We never shit where we eat*

No matter what the lord says about it

We share everything, even our rest

For silver, women, salt and beer

We sail the seas

We live in the here and now

And that suits us very well

We don't plunder, we rob

We don't pray, we believe

Born as children of god

The sail black and taut in the wind

With your mother's milk you sucked it in

You have never stolen

You wanna be a little richer,

To get your share

Everyone knows of our deeds

They're bold but seldom awful

Because we're pirates

And that is our right

The hangman even failed

He held the head by the hair

The mob were invigorated

He left without a head

We don't plunder, we rob

We don't pray, we believe

Born as children of god

The sail black and taut in the wind

We don't plunder, we rob

We don't pray, we believe

Born as children of god

The sail black and taut in the wind

We don't plunder, we rob

We don't pray, we believe

Born as children of god

The sail black and taut in the wind
