There was a little ship, there was a little ship
That had ne-ne-never sailed
That had ne-never sailed, ohé! Ohé!

It set off for a long journey, it set off for a long journey
On the Me-Me-Mediterranean Sea
On the Me-Mediterranean Sea, ohé! Ohé!

Ohé! Ohé! Sailor, sailor sail on the waves
Ohé! Ohé! Sailor, sailor sail on the waves

After five to six weeks, after five to six weeks
The provisions ca-ca-came to an end
The provisions ca-came to an end, ohé! Ohé!

Ohé! Ohé! Sailor, sailor sail on the waves
Ohé! Ohé! Sailor, sailor sail on the waves

They drew straws, they drew straws
To know who-who-who would be eaten
To know who-who would be eaten, ohé! Ohé!

Ohé! Ohé! Sailor, sailor sail on the waves
Ohé! Ohé! Sailor, sailor sail on the waves

The lot fell on the youngest, the lot fell on the youngest
So it's him who-who-who will be eaten
So it's him who-who will be eaten, ohé! Ohé!

Ohé! Ohé! Sailor, sailor sail on the waves
Ohé! Ohé! Sailor, sailor sail on the waves

At the same moment a great miracle, at the same moment a great miracle
For the child was-was-was realized
For the child was-was realized, ohé! Ohé!

Ohé! Ohé! Sailor, sailor sail on the waves
Ohé! Ohé! Sailor, sailor sail on the waves

Little fish in the ship, little fish in the ship
Jumped by-by-by the thousands
Jumped by-by the thousands, ohé! Ohé!

Ohé! Ohé! Sailor, sailor sail on the waves
Ohé! Ohé! Sailor, sailor sail on the waves

They took them, they fried them, they took them, they fried them
The young ca-ca-cabin boy was saved
The young ca-cabin boy was saved, ohé! Ohé!

Ohé! Ohé! Sailor, sailor sail on the waves
Ohé! Ohé! Sailor, sailor sail on the waves
