Shipmates, stand together
Don't give up the ship
Fair or stormy weather
We won't give up
We won't give up the ship

Friends and pals forever
It's a long, long trip
If you have to take a lickin'
Carry on and quit your kickin'
Don't give up the ship


*****


English version with lyrics by Charles Dunn:


Whate'er fate may send us
Don't give up the ship
Though the gale may rend us
We won't give up
We won't give up the ship

Fear shall not transcend us
Let the storm gods rip
Life's a passage, you can make it
Let your chin stand out and take it
Don't give up the ship
