La Cancion Del Pirata

The Pirate's Song

La Cancion Del Pirata

With ten cannons per sideCon diez cañones por banda
Full sail, full sailViento en popa, a toda vela
It does not cut the sea, if it does not flyNo corta el mar, si no vuela
A brig sailing shipUn velero bergantín
Pirate ship they callBajel pirata que llaman
For his bravery, The FearedPor su bravura, El Temido
In every known seaEn todo mar conocido
From one end to the otherDel uno al otro confín

The moon shimmers on the seaLa Luna en el mar riela
The wind moans on the canvasEn la lona gime el viento
And rises in soft movementY alza en blando movimiento
Waves of silver and blueOlas de plata y azul
And the pirate captain goesY va el capitán pirata
Singing happily in the sternCantando alegre en la popa
Asia on one side, Europe on the otherAsia a un lado, al otro Europa
And there in front of him IstanbulY allá a su frente Estambul

Sail, my sailboatNavega, velero mío
Without fearSin temor
That neither enemy shipQue ni enemigo navío
Neither storm nor calmNi tormenta, ni bonanza
Your course reaches to twistTu rumbo a torcer alcanza
Nor to hold your valueNi a sujetar tu valor

Twenty prisonersVeinte presas
We have doneHemos hecho
DespiteA despecho
From EnglishDel inglés
And they have yieldedY han rendido
Their bannersSus pendones
Hundred NationsCien naciones
At my feetA mis pies

That my ship is my treasureQue es mi barco mi tesoro
That my God is freedomQue es mi Dios la libertad
My law, the force and the windMi ley, la fuerza y el viento
My only homeland is the seaMi única patria a la mar

There move fierce warsAllá muevan feroz guerras
Blind KingsCiegos reyes
For a palm more of landPor un palmo más de tierra
That I here, have for mineQue yo aquí, tengo por mío
How much does the wild sea cover?Cuanto abarca el mar bravío
To whom no one imposed lawsA quien nadie impuso leyes

And there is no beachY no hay playa
Be anyoneSea cualquiera
No flagNi bandera
Of splendorDe esplendor
That does not feelQue no sienta
My rightMi derecho
And I give my courage to my breastY dé pecho a mi valor

That my ship is my treasureQue es mi barco mi tesoro
That is my God, my freedomQue es mi Dios mi libertad
My law, the force and the windMi ley, la fuerza y el viento
My only homeland is the seaMi única patria a la mar
