Latvia: Pirates of the Sea - Wolves of the Sea
Eurovision Song Contest · Eurovision Song Contest 2008 [2008]
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 treasure in sight
We are robbing you blind, I hope you don't mind
We are taking it all tonight
Just walk away we'll conquer it all
Pirates will stand and the loser will fall
With a hii hii hoo and a hii hii 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 hii hii hoo and a hii hii 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 chest full of gold
We get sealegs when sighting land
The hook of our captain is looking at you
There's no Peter Pan so what can you do
With a hii hii hoo and a hii hii 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 hii hii hoo and a hii hii hey!
We're hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show, Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea
