An der Nordseekueste English translation
von Klaus & Klaus

Back then, an endless time ago

We Frisians began squatting at the waterfront.
The years went by as the winds of time blow

But we Frisians of today still look drunk.

On the coast of the North Sea, at the Low-German beach.
The fish are in the water and seldom on the land.
On the coast of the North Sea, at the Low-German beach.
The fish are in the water and seldom on the land.

High tide is followed by low tide
And low tide is followed by high tide

The dikes
Hold up, sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.
The dunes
They wander back and forth on the beach.


From Greenland to Flanders
At least roughly.

On the coast of the North Sea, at the Low-German beach.
The fish are in the water and seldom on the land.
On the coast of the North Sea, at the Low-German beach.
The fish are in the water and seldom on the land.

The seals sing their lament

Because they can't wiggle their tails.
Too bad.
The sheep
They bleat like mad on the dike.

And garnish it richly with black-green pellets.

On the coast of the North Sea ...
