Aloha Heja He

I've seen the whole worldHab' die ganze welt geseh'n
From Singapore to AberdeenVon singapur bis aberdeen
If you ask me where it was most beautifulWenn ihr mich fragt, wo's am schönsten war
Then I say: Zanzibar!Dann sag ich: Sansibar!
It was a tough voyageEs war 'ne harte überfahrt
Scrubbing the deck for ten weeks onlyZehn wochen nur das deck geschrubbt
Cursed the world, spat into the windHab' die welt verflucht, in den wind gespuckt
And swallowed salty waterUnd salziges wasser geschluckt
When we dropped anchor, it was heavenly calmAls wir den anker warfen, war es himmlische ruh'
And the sun was directly overheadUnd die sonne stand senkrecht am himmel
When I looked over the railing, I thought I was dreamingAls ich über die reling sah, da glaubte ich zu träumen
There were a thousand boats heading towards usDa waren tausend boote, die hielten auf uns zu
In the boats sat men and womenIn den booten saßen männer und frauen
Their bodies glistening in the sunIhre leiber glänzten in der sonne
And they sang a songUnd sie sangen ein lied
That seemed strangely familiar to meDaß kam mir seltsam bekannt vor
But I've never heard it like that beforeAber so hab ich's noch nie gehört
Yes, I've never heard it like thatJa so hat' ich's noch nie gehört
Aloa-hea-hea loa-hea-hea loa-hea-heAloa-hea-hea loa-hea-hea loa-hea-he
Their boats moored alongsideIhre boote machten längsseits fest
And with the wind came laughterUnd mit dem wind wehte gelächter herüber
They took off their flower wreathsSie nahmen ihre blumenkränze ab
And threw them over to us-Und warfen sie zu uns herüber-
Hey- and the party was already in full swingHey- und schon war die party im gange
Aloa-hea-hea loa-hea-hea loa-hea-heAloa-hea-hea loa-hea-hea loa-hea-he
I saw paradiseIch hab das paradies geseh'n
It was in nineteen-tenEs war um neunzehnhundertzehn
The helmsman had sailors in the mast and theDer steuermann hatte matrosen im mast und den
Purser had been devoured by the gonococciZahlmeister ha'm die gonokocken vernascht
But otherwise we were in the best of healthAber sonst war'n wir bei bester gesundheit
