Pirates Of The Sea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show, Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea
Don't try to run, it's all set and done
There's a treasure inside
We are robbing you blind
I hope you don't mind
We are taking it all tonight
Just walk away, we will conquer it all
Pirates will stand and the loser will fall
With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We're bound to be close to the sea
Our captain will stand on the bridge and sing:
Pirates are all we can be
With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We're hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show, Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea
Down to the core, we're coming for more
With a sword close at hand
We are scary and bold, a chest full of gold
We can steal it when sighting land
Then Hook, our captain is looking at you
There's no Peter Pan, so what can you do?
With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We're bound to be close to the sea
Our captain will stand on the bridge and sing:
Pirates are all we can be
With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We're hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show, Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea
We pirates will stand tall
A skull and crossbone flag is closing in
To see you fall
(Hum, hi ho, hi hum, hi hey)
(Hum, hi ho, hi hey)
(Hum, hi ho, hi hum, hi hey)
With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We're hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show, Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea
With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We're bound to be close to the sea
Our captain will stand on the bridge and sing:
Pirates are all we can be
With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We're hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show, Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea
We are wolves of the sea
The lyrics of Pirates Of The Sea’s song “Wolves Of The Sea” describe the thrilling life of pirates sailing the sea, looking for treasure and adventure. The song is a celebration of their freedom and their unity as a crew, represented by their flag with the Jolly Rogers. The band encourages anyone who sees them approaching to just walk away, as they will take everything they own.
The pirates are determined and fearless, carrying swords close at hand, and willing to steal from anyone who has gold. The chorus repeats the phrase “With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey,” emphasizing the energy and rhythm of the song. The captain is portrayed as a strong leader who inspires his crew to sing along and embrace their pirate identity.
The lyrics also mention a challenge thrown out to Peter Pan’s nemesis, Captain Hook, suggesting that even the most famous pirate of literature would be helpless against these wolves of the sea. The repetition of the phrase “We are wolves of the sea” is a reminder of their power, and their willingness to take risks in pursuit of their goals.

This is still gold after so many years. I wish there would be a special Eurovision song contest, where you could vote oldies and former contributions.

Still great! And I love how the Rock of Ages Cast did this for the West End Eurovision in 2012 😀

Every other country: “let’s sing about love, world peace, or something deep and philosophical.”
Latvia: “I’m a pirate!”

That’s probably why it stood out from the crowd, cos it’s not a mainstream pop song. 😂👍
