Rungholt Rungholt
When the water came
Rungholt Rungholt
All left was just the name
In the 10th century
Trade over water was easy
Also in the Frysian north
There was a town with a port
Rungholt Rungholt
When the water came
Rungholt Rungholt
All left was just the name
They even built water locks
And also boat docks
Production of salt
Brought wealth as gold
Rungholt Rungholt
When the water came
Rungholt Rungholt
All left was just the name
Over 40 decades
This town did great
In (the year) 1362
There was no rescue
Rungholt Rungholt
When the water came
Rungholt Rungholt
All left was just the name
The 2nd Marcellus flood
Vanished the town for good
Was it a curse or just strange
They already had climate change
Rungholt Rungholt
When the water came
Rungholt Rungholt
All left was just the name
