Storm Chant of the Skrealings
Sleek, swift, streamlined ship,
shield-clad and shining,
tell to me the tale of your trip
when the limpest of men were your lining
O I know you were a ship of fools
O I know you were a ship of fools
You tried to take them to new trade
but they were afraid to follow.
Land-lubbers of the lowest grade
their hearts and their heads were both hollow
O I know you were a ship of fools
O I know you were a ship of fools
But your form is far-out, framed by foam:
a cloven-crocodile.
Whale's-highway is your home
Swan's-Riding is your style.
Fine-finned, shaped like a shark
the wind awaits your awaking.
Designed for delving into the dark
of mysteries in the making
O I know you were a ship of fools
O I know you were a ship of fools
A ship of fools
ship of fools
you were a ship of fools.
Canto de la Tormenta de los Skrealings
Barco elegante, veloz y aerodinámico,
con escudos y brillante,
cuéntame la historia de tu viaje
cuando los más débiles de los hombres eran tu tripulación.
Oh, sé que eras un barco de tontos
Oh, sé que eras un barco de tontos
Intentaste llevarlos a un nuevo comercio
pero tenían miedo de seguirte.
Terrícolas del más bajo nivel
sus corazones y mentes estaban vacíos.
Oh, sé que eras un barco de tontos
Oh, sé que eras un barco de tontos
Pero tu forma es única, enmarcada por la espuma:
un cocodrilo hendido.
El camino de las ballenas es tu hogar
Montar cisnes es tu estilo.
De aletas finas, con forma de tiburón
el viento espera tu despertar.
Diseñado para adentrarse en la oscuridad
de los misterios en desarrollo.
Oh, sé que eras un barco de tontos
Oh, sé que eras un barco de tontos
Un barco de tontos
barco de tontos
tú eras un barco de tontos.
