The Hook

A los 19 años fui secuestrado por piratas turcosAT Age 19 I was kidnapped by Turkish pirates
Matones del MediterráneoMediterranean thugs
Tras algo de tortura me consideraron su mascotaAfter some torture they considered me their mascot
Buena suerte cipriotaCypriotic Good Luck
Tuve que probar la cubierta y muchas otras cosasI had to taste the deck and many other things
Tuve que pagar el precio con mi anillo de bodasI had to pay the piper with my wedding ring
Y nunca más volvería a ver a mi familiaAnd I would never see my family again

A los 25 años era respetado como un igualBy 25 I was respected as an equal
Mi arte era un cuchilloMy art was a knife
En innumerables incursiones era el primero en subir por el aparejoOn countless raids I was the first one up the lanyard
Sí, buscaba peleaYeah I was seeking a fight
No hay tiempo para rezarThere is no time to pray
Y no hay tiempo para rogarAnd there's no time to beg
Y luego es un brazo menosAnd then it's off with an arm
O es una pierna menosOr it's off with a leg
Y si te perdono la vidaAnd if I spare your life
Es porque la marea se retiraIt's because the tide is leaving

Oh síOh yeah

A los 31 años era el capitán de un galeónBy 31 I was the captain of a galleon
Era el nuevo hijo de PoseidónI was Poseidon's new son
La costa de Montenegro era mi objetivo favoritoThe coast of Montenegro was my favorite target
Era tan divertidoIt was ever so fun
No teníamos piernas de maderaWe had no wooden legs
Ni garfios de aceroOr steel hooks
No teníamos parches en el ojo negroWe had no black eye patches
Ni un cocinero hambrientoOr a starving cook
Éramos simplemente asesinos con los ojos fríos de un marineroWe were just killers with the cold eyes of a sailor
Sí, éramos asesinos con los ojos fríos de un marineroYeah we were killers with the cold eyes of a sailor
