Lyrics
Venner, jeg har sejlet i mange, mange år
På et skib, som ingen vegne når
Jeg har taget hyre som bolværksmatros
På et skib, som ikke har noen lods
Skibet hedder Christianshavns kanal
Skibet hedder Christianshavns kanal
Venner, jeg har siddet i mange, mange år
Med en kølig pilsner på mit lår
Jeg har set jer allesammen gå forbi
Hvis du skvatter, havner du på hovedet i
Skibet hedder Christianshavns kanal
Skibet hedder Christianshavns kanal
Fisker, dranker, hippi og pusher
Damer, herrer, mænd'er og koner
Havørn, provo, piger og måger
Sutter og bumser, finner og unger
Venner, når jeg dør, så ta' min aske
Og put den i en tom, tom flaske
Slå proppen i, og send mig af som flaskepost
Imens I drikker jer en stille most
Skibet hedder Christianshavns kanal
Skibet hedder Christianshavns kanal, ja, åh
Skibet hedder Christianshavns kanal
Skibet hedder Christianshavns kanal
Lyrics translation
Friends, I've been sailing for many, many years
On a ship that can't get anywhere
I've taken hire as bulwarksmatros
On a ship that has no loot
The ship is called Christianshavns kanal
The ship is called Christianshavns kanal
Friends, I've been sitting for many, many years
With a cool lager on my thigh
I've seen you all walk by
If you wobble, you'll end up on your head in
The ship is called Christianshavns kanal
The ship is called Christianshavns kanal
Fisherman, drunkard, hippie and drug dealer
Ladies, Gentlemen, husbands and wives
White-tailed eagle, provo, girls and seagulls
Pacifiers and pimples, fins and Cubs
Friends, when I die, Take My Ashes
And put it in an empty, empty bottle
Put the cork in and send me off as a bottle post
While you're drinking a quiet must
The ship is called Christianshavns kanal
The ship is called Christianshavn's channel, yes, oh
The ship is called Christianshavns kanal
The ship is called Christianshavns kanal
