Schipbreukeling

On the deserted island in the Pacific Ocean
We've been here for eighty-six days
The ship we were on sank with all hands
The ship crashed on the rocks
We swam through the waves, washed up on this shore
And God knows if we'll ever be alright again

Chorus:
Castaway, castaway,
What a miserable, miserable existence
Castaway, castaway,
In the middle of the ocean
There's a dot on the horizon!
A ship on the horizon!
Waving your underwear, waving your shirt
Oh no, it's gone, oh man, it's gone again
Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck

On the deserted island in the Pacific Ocean
We've been staring at the sea for months
Eating raw fish and a banana
And this could go on for forty more years
We take turns sucking on the skin of the sausage
One of us is already going crazy, crazy from thirst

Chorus

On the deserted island, it’s almost over for us
We've given up all hope
And now we look at each other with teary eyes
Tomorrow none of us will be alive
Exhausted and emaciated, we shake each other's hands
We're going to die, comrades, on this unknown shore

Castaway, castaway,
What a miserable, miserable existence
Castaway, castaway,
In the middle of the ocean
There's a rumble on the horizon!
A buzz on the horizon!
It's a little helicopter, it’s seen us
We're being lifted up, finally rescued
Finally rescued.
