Песня: Flying Dutchman
Old lady with a barrow
Life near ending
Standing by the harbour wall
Warm wishes sending
Children on the cold sea swell -
Not fishers of men -
Gone to chase away the last herring
Come empty home again

So come all your lovers of the good life
On your supermarket run -
Set a sail of your own devising
And be there when the Dutchman comes
And be there when the Dutchman comes

Wee girl in a straw hat
From far east warring
Sad cargo of an old ship
Young bodies whoring
Slow ocean hobo -
Ports closed to her crew
No hope of immigration -
Keep passing through

So come all your lovers of the good life
Your children playing in the sun -
And set a sympathetic flag a-flying
And be there when the Dutchman comes
And be there when the Dutchman comes

Death grinning like a scarecrow
Flying Dutchman
Seagull pilots flown from nowhere
Try and touch one
As she slips in on the full tide
And the harbour-master yells
All hands vanished with the captain
No one left the tale to tell

So come all you lovers of the good life
Look around you, can you see?
Staring ghostly from the mirror
It's the Dutchman you will be
Floating slowly out to sea
In a misty misery








Flying Dutchman

Old lady with a barrow
Life near ending
Standing by the harbour wall
Warm wishes sending
Children on the cold sea swell -
Not fishers of men -
Gone to chase away the last herring
Come empty home again

So come all your lovers of the good life
On your supermarket run -
Set a sail of your own devising
And be there when the Dutchman comes
And be there when the Dutchman comes

Wee girl in a straw hat
From far east warring
Sad cargo of an old ship
Young bodies whoring
Slow ocean hobo -
Ports closed to her crew
No hope of immigration -
Keep passing through

So come all your lovers of the good life
Your children playing in the sun -
And set a sympathetic flag a-flying
And be there when the Dutchman comes
And be there when the Dutchman comes

Death grinning like a scarecrow
Flying Dutchman
Seagull pilots flown from nowhere
Try and touch one
As she slips in on the full tide
And the harbour-master yells
All hands vanished with the captain
No one left the tale to tell

So come all you lovers of the good life
Look around you, can you see?
Staring ghostly from the mirror
It's the Dutchman you will be
Floating slowly out to sea in a misty misery

Перевод песни:
Летучий Голландец*

Пожилая дама с тележкой,
Приближающийся конец жизни,
Они поджидают у стен гавани,
Посылают тёплые пожелания.
Дети в кипящем холодном море -
Не ловцы человеков 1 -
Ушли в море разогнать последнюю рыбу,
Опять возвращаются домой ни с чем...... [открыть перевод]
