Aloha Heja He (Maxi Version) - Bonus - Achim Reichel translation in English

Aloha Heja He (Maxi Version) - Bonus

Hab die ganze Welt gesehen
Von Singapur bis Aberdeen
Wenn du mich fragst wo's am schönsten war
Sag ich Sansibar
Es war 'ne harte Überfahrt
Zehn Wochen nur das Deck geschrubbt
Hab die Welt verflucht
In den Wind gespuckt
Und salziges Wasser geschluckt

Als wir den Anker warfen
War es himmlische Ruh
Und die Sonne stand senkrecht am Himmel
Als ich über die Reeling sah
Da glaubte ich zu träumen
Da waren tausend Boote
Und sie hielten auf uns zu
In den Booten waren Männer und Frauen
Ihre Leiber glänzten in der Sonne
Und sie sangen ein Lied
Das kam mir seltsam bekannt vor
Aber so hatt' ich's noch nie gehört
Ooh, so hatt' ich's noch nie gehört

Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he

Ihre Boote machten längsseits fest
Und mit dem Wind wehte Gelächter herüber
Sie nahmen ihre Blumenkränze ab
Und warfen sie zu uns herüber
Heee und schon war die Party im Gange

Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he

Ich hab das Paradies gesehen
Es war um 1910
Der Steuermann hatte Matrosen am Mast
Und den Zahlmeister ha'm die Gonokokken vernascht
Aber sonst waren wir bei bester Gesundheit

Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he

I have seen the whole world
From Singapore to Aberdeen
If you ask me where it was most beautiful
I say Zanzibar
It was a hard crossing
Scrubbing the deck for ten weeks
I cursed the world
Spat in the wind
And swallowed salty water

When we cast anchor
It was heavenly peace
And the sun stood perpendicular in the sky
As I looked over the railing
I thought I was dreaming
There were a thousand boats
And they were heading towards us
In the boats were men and women
Their bodies shone in the sun
And they sang a song
That sounded strangely familiar to me
But I had never heard it like this before
Ooh, I had never heard it like this before

Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he

Their boats moored alongside
And laughter wafted over with the wind
They took off their flower garlands
And threw them over to us
Heee and the party was already underway

Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he

I have seen paradise
It was around 1910
The helmsman had sailors on the mast
And the paymaster was being feasted on by the gonococci
But otherwise we were in excellent health

Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
Aloha heja he
