De Marie-Louise

Chorus:
Marie-Louise dances up and down
She goes through the wild hurricane
And the howling wind
Goes wild again
But Marie-Louise will never perish

We cast the nets from morning till night
A meager catch, but you work like a beast
Two more days, then the safe harbor
Then we go ashore and celebrate

Chorus

The old man brings us
To safer shores
The master after God, captain of his ship
He always keeps the course, never loses his way
Even if he's sometimes drunk in his cabin

Chorus

You fall into your bunk, you feel safe
Something gnaws at you, and you think of home
You wonder again: who will care for them
If the ship goes down, with everyone aboard

Chorus

La la la

But Marie-Louise
Will never perish
