6. A Herring and a Mackerel (Eine etwas grobe Übersetzung.)
Songtext in 

A herring and a mackerel
was a heart as well as a soul.
He swam with her through the canals
so the mackerel doesn't miss anything.
He swam with her through the canals
so the mackerel doesn't miss anything.

They came into open water,
the herring was getting hotter.
He said, "Be my wife, that'd be better!"
She said, "Oh, you sweet blackmailer."
He said, "Be my wife, that'd be better!"
She said, "Oh, you sweet blackmailer."

So the marriage was concluded,
they enjoyed life.
He kissed her undauntedly
the gills, the mouth and the fins.
He kissed her undauntedly
the gills, the mouth and the fins.
They honeymooned in waves for weeks.
And then a few weeks flew by
she felt so strange in her roe,
she didn't change her face,
she felt so strange in her roe,
she didn't change her face.

What's the use of me hiding it?
she soon became ma's makrele.
But he spoke, "Before I torture myself about it,
allow me to recommend myself."
But he spoke, "Before I torture myself about it,
allow me to recommend myself."

She lowered her eyelids, offended
and looked down at him indignantly.
"You men are heartless brothers,
We'll see each other in fish court"
"You men are heartless brothers,
We'll see each other in fish court"
The villain was caught in the fjords,
there the herring is caught in hordes.
Mackerel is somewhere in the north
smoked beautifully golden yellow.
Mackerel is somewhere in the north
smoked beautifully golden yellow.

There was a reunion, even if it's late,
in the fish shop, which was delicate.
She recognized him because she was clever,
though he was already herring salad.
She recognized him because she was clever,
though he was already herring salad.
She recognized him because she was clever,
though he was already herring salad.
