Lyrics
Nede ved kystens øde egne ligger snekken bi,
Fjordens odder skjuler skibet med det sorte sejl,
Vagten står i stævnen og spejder ud til havets rand,
Venter på en ensom kogge, fyldt med sydlandks guld.
Ude på havet sejler et skib, tynget af sit læs,
Lydløst og med lynets hast, sejler snekken frem,
Hvæsset klinge så blanke som sølver spejler solens lys,
Havet farvs rødt med blod,
Fredelige sømænd slagtes for deres guld.
Havets plage,
Havets plage,
Havets plage,
Havets plage!
Havets plage.
Lyrics translation
Down by the deserted coast lies the snekken Bee,
The otter of the fjord hides the ship with the Black Sail,
The guard stands on the bow and looks out to the edge of the sea,
Waiting for a lonely quiver, filled with southlandks gold.
Out at sea a ship sails, weighed down by its load,
Silently and with lightning speed, the snek moves forward,
Sharpened blade as shiny as silver mirrors the light of the sun,
Sea color red with blood,
Peaceful sailors are slaughtered for their gold.
Plague of the sea,
Plague of the sea,
Plague of the sea,
Plague of the sea!
Plague of the sea.
