The dolphin’s Belly
was cut open by the propellor!
No one expects
A shot in the back.

Now there are no more shells
For the guns.
We must quickly
Turn her about!

Sail! They ripped the sail!
I repent! I repent! I repent!

Even on patrol
You might not meet the enemy.
It’s not so bad -
If only your leg hurts.

The door hinges
Squeak and sing:
Who are you?
They’re not expecting you here!

Sail! They ripped the sail!
I repent! I repent! I repent!

Many years -
Has the one who sings in his sleep!
All parts of the world
May lay on the bottom,

All the continents
May burn in fire,
Only all this
Doesn’t concern me!

Sail! They ripped the sail!
I repent! I repent! I repent!
