Mädchen von Haithabu

We were almost
In Haithabu
On a spring day in May
We were packed tight
And we were stuck
And we had no rum with us

By the roadside
At the shore stood
A beauty in a simple dress
She was like a fairy
I greet you all
Come with me if you're thirsty

From north to south
And from east to west
No matter how far and how long I rode
I found no man
Who can party like
The girls of Haithabu

From north to south
And from east to west
No matter how far and how long I rode
I found no man
Who can party like
The girls of Haithabu

And we set off
To her little village
And she said: My name's Eileen
In the marketplace then
Where the festival began
All the women were so young and beautiful

Eileen grabbed me
Pulled me to her
Let's dance, just me and you
There's no one in the land
Who ignites the night
Like the girls of Haithabu

From north to south
And from east to west
No matter how far and how long I rode
I found no man
Who can party like
The girls of Haithabu

From north to south
And from east to west
No matter how far and how long I rode
I found no man
Who can party like
The girls of Haithabu

(Hey ho)
(Hey ho)
(Hey ho)

And we poured drinks
Drank rum and wine
In my arms lay Eileen
And we sang loud
Until the morning light
And the sun shone in the sky

At noon I woke up
Looked out the window
My legs, my head, everything hurt
We partied hard
More than one night
Because the first snow had already fallen

From north to south
And from east to west
No matter how far and how long I rode
I found no man
Who can party like
The girls of Haithabu

From north to south
And from east to west
No matter how far and how long I rode
I found no man
Who can party like
The girls of Haithabu

From north to south
From east to west
I found no man
Who can party like
The girls of Haithabu

From north to south
From east to west
I found no man
Who can party like
The girls of Haithabu
