Sesampai di sana berlayar Laut Utara
The North Sea wide and cold

Sebuah kapal penuh muatan
With the world's most precious gold

The enemy ship was floating
Kapal musuh mengambang
To steal our precious gold

Volunteered to sink the boat loaded with gold
Dengan sukarela menenggelamkan kapal yang penuh dengan emas
He jumped into the North Sea

Our valiant friend, approached the ship's hold
Teman kami yang gagah berani, mendekati pegangan kapal
With his fairest knife he gouged out a hole
Dengan pisau yang paling indah dia mencungkil lubang
Down! Down! And down! Down went the boat!!
Turun! Turun! Dan turun! Turun naik perahu !!
