<br>> I really enjoyed your links to that band Drangduewels. I know it is not<br>> what<br>> many people older would see as FUN but I really enjoyed it. I could<br>> understand bits but not all of it. Nevertheless it looks like a great

<br>un wi sünd bannig stolt.<br><br>Hoch geiht de See,<br>in Luv un in Lee,<br>de Wind de huult uns üm de Ohrn<br>un singt dorbi sien Leed. 2 x<br><br>Hett erst de Wind dat Seil tofaat<br>un staat wi fast an Deck,<br>denn holt uns hier ok nix mehr fast,
<br>denn wüllt wi blots noch weg.<br>Wenn ringsüm blots noch Water is,<br>denn föhlt wi uns erst wohl,<br>mit Solt in't Hoor un natte Fööt,<br>wat schön verdammt nochmol.<br><br>Hoch geiht des See... 2 x<br><br>translation:
<br><br>As the days grow longer<br>And the sun is laughing again<br>We want to take a big trip on the sea<br>We are forced to leave<br>(literally "it treks us out with might")<br>Now the boat has to be put into the water
<br>Too dry is it's wood<br>The stem is stretching to the bilge<br>And we are so proud<br><br>The sea goes high<br>In luff and in lee<br>The wind is howling<br>And is singing his song (at the same time)<br><br>After the wind has caught the sail
<br>And we stand fast (firm) on the deck<br>Nothing can stop us now<br>All we want now is to leave<br>As soon as there is only water around us<br>We'll feel good<br>With salt in the hair and wet feet<br>Damn! How beautiful is this!
