Santiano

[Grey Roger]

This band is German and previously most of their videos were in German. They've translated their signature song into English now.

I had no clue this song was German originally.
Was it really?

It's a nice companion piece to Wellerman, which by now is becoming quite tired to me...

That first video shows as "unavailable" for me.
Reason unknown.

Try this one:

The song in question starts at about 1:55.

Otherwise, search YouTube for "Santiano". The song is also called "Santiano". You should find plenty of others from the same band.

Oh yes, that's indeed German for sure.
Interesting!
I didn't have a clue until you mentioned.
I heard the English one before, but German is new to me.

They've done some other songs in English, in particular a couple of Irish ones.
"Irish Rover":

"Whiskey in the Jar":

Listen carefully to the description of the Irish Rover and imagine that thing in PoTC.
