Now hark, all you gallants! Your ears I would tease
with a song of Lord Essex in the fight at Cadiz!
How he scuppered them Spaniards and hacked out their spleen,
For the glory of England and Elizabeth, our queen!
We've rounded the port, boys, the cannons they roar,
the sea's full of corpses and Spain is no more!
They bobbed on the tide, boys, the fat and the lean,
For the glory of England and Elizabeth, our queen!

Nun hört mich, ihr Leute, ich sing' euch ein Lied
von Lord Essex, dem Schlächter, in der Schlacht bei Cadix!
Wie schlug er die Spanier, wie jagt' er sie hin,
zu Ehren von England und Englands Königin!
Kanonen, die pfeffern in den Hafen ihr Schrot.
Das Meer ist voll Leichen und Spanien ist tot!
Drum singet und tanzet, ob dick oder dünn,
zu Ehren von England und Englands Königin!
