English text
1 The moon shines bright,
and our bark bounds light,
As the stag bounds over the lea,
We love the strife
of the sailor's life,
And we love our dark blue sea.
2 Now high, now low
to the depths we go,
Now rise to the surge again,
We make a track
on the ocean's back,
And play with his hoary mane.
We love our dark blue sea.
