Jutlandia English translation
von Kim Larsen

It was in 1949 or thereabouts
When there was a war in Korea
The ship was called the Jutlandia, and it came a long way
Because there was a war in Korea

Equipped from basement to floor
Like a floating hospital

Hey ho!
For Jutland
She comes as called to battle
Home is the hunter
Returned from hunting
And the sailor returned from the sea

When the boys are going to war, the women sail by
On the red crosses painted ships
And Lillili Marlen sings
Auf Wiedersehn
When they fall into line


The cannons play first violin
Come on soldier
Sing along to the melody

Hey ho
For Jutland
She comes as called to battle
Home is the hunter
Returned from hunting
And the sailor returned from the sea

(Interlude)

She sails through the night, with all her children
Living and dead
White as a virgin
And brave as an eagle
Does she face the war

Nurses aged 16
Attending to the soldiers' wounds


Hey ho
For Jutland
She comes as called to battle
Home is the hunter
Returned from hunting
And the sailor returned from the sea

Hey ho
For Jutland
She comes as called to battle
Home is the hunter
Returned from hunting
And the sailor returned from the sea
