De 'Hoffnung' Lyrics

De Hoffnung weer hunnert Dag unnerwegs,
To my way, hay, hoday.
Se seil von Hamborg na Valparais,
It's a long time ago.
Kehrreim:
It's a long, a long, a long time ago,
To my way, hay, hoday.
It's a long, a long, a long time ago,
To my hoday, ho.

2. Se seil so good und se seil so hart,
To my way, hay, hoday.
Se har so'ne goode kostbare Fracht,
It's a long time ago.
Kehrreim:

3. Un as de Ol nu flucht und gnaddert,
To my way, hay, hoday.
Dor keem de Duevel oever de Reeling kladdert,
It's a long time ago.
Kehrreim:

4. Wenn mi in tein Dag na'n Kanal du bringst,
To my way, hay, hoday.
Denn kriggst Du mien Seel, so wohr as du stinkst,
It's a long time ago.
Kehrreim:
5. De Pott leep neegentein Mielen toletzt,
To my way, hay, hoday.
Dor harr de Duevel de Skyseils bisett,
It's a long time ago.
Kehrreim:
6. Un as he nun in'n Kanal keem to Stell,
To my way, hay, hoday.
Dar seeg de Duevel "Nu her mit de Seel.",
It's a long time ago.
Kehrreim:

7. Dar seeg de Ol "Nu lat di man Tied",
To my way, hay, hoday.
"We goht to Anker bi Kap San Patric",
It's a long time ago.
Kehrreim:
8. De Duevel de weer för Freid all ganz weg,
To my way, hay, hoday.
He leep op de Back, sett de Anker op Slip,
It's a long time ago.
Kehrreim:

9. De ole Timmermann har grote Freid,
To my way, hay, hoday.
He har den Duevel sien Steert mit vertaeut,
It's a long time ago.
Kehrreim:

10. Un as den Anker nu suust op den Grund,
To my way, hay, hoday.
Dor suust de Duevel mit, de Swienehund,
It's a long time ago.
Kehrreim:
