Kasalla Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Et weed verzällt se han ne Scheff jesinn
Dat kütt vun Zündorf in de Stadt erinn
An där Südbrück is et ald vörbei
Mer hürt nor laache un Jeschrei

11 Staatse Sejel, wiess un rut
Un in dä Odere kölsches Bloot
Leeven Herjott stonn uns bei
Mer kumme och bei Üch vörbei

Pirate, wild un frei
Dreimol Kölle Ahoi
Rette sich wer kann, mer lejen aan
Pirate, wild un frei
Dreimol Kölle Ahoi
Und där Dudekopp op unsrer Fahn
Hät en rude Pappnaas aan

Heyo! Hey Hey Ho!
Heyo! Hey Hey Ho!
Heyo! Hey Hey Ho!
Heyo! Hey Hey Ho!

Der Kahn der schwank, vom Bug noh m Heck
De Manschaff fiert met Käpten Jeck
Dä Pittermann an Deck jerollt
Dat sinn zehn Liter flüssisch Jold

Die Naach is jung, kutt all eraan
Maat rischtich Lärm, zündt de Lampe an
De Buddel Rum im Würjejriff
Hück versenke mer dat Scheff

Pirate, wild un frei
Dreimol Kölle Ahoi
Rette sich wer kann, mer lejen aan
Pirate, wild un frei
Dreimol Kölle Ahoi
Und där Dudekopp op unsrer Fahn
Hät en rude Pappnaas aan

Heyo! Hey Hey Ho!
Heyo! Hey Hey Ho!
Heyo! Hey Hey Ho!
Heyo! Hey Hey Ho!

Wer weiß wie lang die Kääze brenne
Mer danze mem Klabautermann
Und lije mer och eimol op Melaten
Mer sinn op iwig

Pirate, wild un frei
Dreimol Kölle Ahoi
Rette sich wer kann, mer lejen aan
Pirate, wild un frei
Dreimol Kölle Ahoi
Und där Dudekopp op unsrer Fahn
Hät en rude Pappnaas aan

Heyo! Hey Hey Ho!
Heyo! Hey Hey Ho!
Heyo! Hey Hey Ho!
Heyo! Hey Hey Ho!

Overall Meaning

Kasalla's song "Pirate" is an upbeat, lively tune that is written entirely in the Kölsch dialect, a variant of the German language spoken in the city of Cologne. The song is about a group of pirates who set sail from the district of Zündorf in Cologne and head to the Südbrücke, where they party and make plenty of noise, leaving those on shore laughing and screaming. The pirates are accompanied by eleven state sails, which are white and red and adorned with the Cologne coat of arms. They proudly display a red clown nose, known as a "rude Pappnaas," on their flag.


The chorus, which is repeated throughout the song, encourages listeners to join in the celebration, shouting "Pirate, wild and free, three times Cologne ahoy! Save yourselves if you can, we'll just carry on! Pirate, wild and free, three times Cologne ahoy! And on our flag, the clown nose is proudly displayed!"


The song goes on to describe the pirates' adventures on their ship, with Captain Jeck and the crew enjoying plenty of rum and causing a raucous. The raucousness eventually leads to the ship being sunk, but the pirates continue to dance with the Klabautermann and lay down for eternity in Melaten cemetery. Overall, "Pirate" is a rollicking song that celebrates the joy and freedom of living life to the fullest.
