Blow the man down
L’homme à abattre • Vermöbel den Mann
Blow the man down, sung to give rhythm and motivation to the sailors as they worked the ship, is probably the most famous of all sea shanties.
Cette chanson entonnée pour donner rythme et motivation aux marins à la manoeuvre du navire est probablement la plus célèbre des chansons de marins.
Vermöbel den Mann wird gesungen, um den Matrosen bei der Arbeit auf dem Schiff ein gemeinsames Tempo vorzugeben und sie anzufeuern. Dieses Lied ist wahrscheinlich das berühmteste Shanty überhaupt.
