An der Nordseeküste
Just another stolen song.
A good irish folk song is converted into nonsense.

Comments about An der Nordseeküste:
The german version by Klaus & Klaus is a cover with fun text. As mentioned before it's a popular party song for some people but i would never treat it as a folk song here in germany. In the 80's many foreign songs were covered with only the original melody and independant new text lines. The Wild Rover is an english original and the Dubliners interpretation is much more accurate.

I'm baffled on this one as I first heard this song in 1986 by the Clancy Brothers

The German folk song "An Der NordseeKuste" is the original! When I was living in Bremerhaven GE it was the standard fest party song for all "Bremerhavener". If you check history you would see that it was written many years before "The Wild Rover".

The song Der Norseeküste is a very old German song. It has been around as long as the Wild Rover. It just goes to show the common origins of all northern European people.
