Here are the lyrics:

Hoch geiht de See (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1I_hJ2i8cuc)

Wenn erst de Dagen länger ward
un uns de Sünn wedder lacht,
denn wüllt wi los op grote Fohrt,
treckt uns dat rut mit Macht.
Nu mutt dat Boot in't Water rin,
to dröög is all dat Holt,
de Steven reckt sick na de Kimm
un wi sünd bannig stolt.

Hoch geiht de See,
in Luv un in Lee,
de Wind de huult uns üm de Ohrn
un singt dorbi sien Leed. 2 x

Hett erst de Wind dat Seil tofaat
un staat wi fast an Deck,
denn holt uns hier ok nix mehr fast,
denn wüllt wi blots noch weg.
Wenn ringsüm blots noch Water is,
denn föhlt wi uns erst wohl,
mit Solt in't Hoor un natte Fööt,
wat schön verdammt nochmol.

Hoch geiht des See... 2 x

translation:

As the days grow longer
And the sun is laughing again
We want to take a big trip on the sea
We are forced to leave
(literally "it treks us out with might")
Now the boat has to be put into the water
Too dry is it's wood
The stem is stretching to the bilge
And we are so proud

The sea goes high
In luff and in lee
The wind is howling
And is singing his song (at the same time)

After the wind has caught the sail
And we stand fast (firm) on the deck
Nothing can stop us now
All we want now is to leave
As soon as there is only water around us
We'll feel good
With salt in the hair and wet feet
Damn! How beautiful is this!

Ship Ahoy
Karl-Heinz
