First Verse:

Marianne, oh, Marianne, why won't you come with me?
We can have a bamboo hut and brandy in the tea.
Leave your fat old mama home; she never will say yes.
If mama don't know now, she can guess.

Second Verse:

When she walks along the shore, people pause to greet,

White birds fly around her;  little fish come to her feet.

In her heart is love, but I'm the only mortal man,

Who's allowed to kiss my Marianne.

 

Chorus:

All day, all night, Marianne,
Down by the seaside sifting sand.
Even little children love Marianne,
Down by the seaside sifting sand.
