In front of the Grand Hotell, the best here in the North,
is Vaxholm II. Welcome aboard!
And there's the captain and there's a sailor.
God save us! Steamboat blues
The time for the departure is not yet determined
but long live all the old steamboats that sail steadily.
Will you drive away somewhere
to some dock, where there is dancing.
Accordion music, rural tradition,
bathing without clothes, pneumonia.
Shoot and hoot in the cabin until night becomes day.
Long live the company of steamboats.
Girls and boys, where are you going?
We are going to Weave, drink, fight and argue.
Fight with the police, we all want that.
But they put us there when we get crazy.
We gather several thousand in a small field
and then we have sex parties in every single tent.
The load consists of brandy packages,
boxes and shoes, a live goat.
You send the wife to the summer house,
then you go and have a drink at the opera bar.
As soon as she has stung, you sit there .
Just now the boat devil doesn't go on a cut-
Goodbye now everyone, the steam whistle blows.
What a tack, the whole boat tilts .
If there is a breakdown or collision
there is a life jacket for every ten people.
Lifeboats are unfortunately missing this time,
but we has service in our aft saloon.
In case you happen to get hungry,
In case you happen to get seasick,
In case you happen to get hungry...
