The full lyrics
Blow, Boys, Blow (Norwegian)
Paa vaade veie vil vi vandre,
– BLOW, boys, BLOW!
Vi tager avsked med hverandre,
– BLOW, me bully boys, BLOW!
* 2 *
Jeg ser min flamme staar paa pynten,
Hun graeter visst, ti slut er mynten.
* 3 *
Til mersefaldet styrmand kalder,
Og heis nu klyver, til hun falder.
* 4 *
Hun driver rundt–en maned til roret,
Og hiv nu ankret op i sporet!
* 5 *
Hal op i styrbords agterbraser!
Vor styrmand flyr nu rundt og maser,
* 6 *
Fra kysten nu saa fint hun langer,
Der ser vi Okso fyrtaarn pranger.
* 7 *
Snart har vi Lindesnaes isigte–
Nu styrmand maa de peile rigtig!
* 8 *
Det frisker op med bris nordostlig–
Hun slinger praegtig–det er kos’lig.
* 9 *
Kaptein roper: Hei du stuert!
Slipp nu laerken ut av buret!
* 10 *
Skjaenk i en og la os smake,
Et skjont farvel for dem tilbake.
* 11 *
Heis nu seilet hoit paa stangen!
Nu er det oppe–slutt med sangen.
