Pirate's Song

José de Espronceda

With ten cannons on each side, There they wage fierce war
full sails, all the way blind kings
It does not cut the sea, but it flies for a palm more of land;
that which I have here as mine
a brigantine sailboat.
how much the rough sea encompasses,
Pirate ship they call,
for his bravery, the Feared, to whom no one imposed laws.
in all known sea And there is no beach,
from one edge to the other. whatever
The moon in the laughing sea, my flag
on the canvas the wind moans, of splendor,
that he/she does not feel
and raises gently in motion
silver and blue waves; my right
and there goes the pirate captain, and give chest

singing joyfully at the stern, to my value.


Asia on one side, Europe on the other, What is my ship, my treasure,
and there in front of him Stambul: what is my god, liberty,
Sail, my sailboat, my law, the force and the wind,
without fear, my only homeland, the sea.
that no enemy ship At the sound of "ship coming!"
neither storm nor calm it is to see
your course to bend reaches, how it turns and is prevented
do not hold back your value. at full speed to escape;
that I am the king of the sea,
Twenty dams
and my fury is to be feared.
we have done
in spite In the dams
from English, I divide
and they have surrendered I have taken it

their banners equally;


one hundred nations I just want
to my feet. for wealth
What is my boat, my treasure, the beauty
without rival.
what is my god the freedom,
my law, the force and the wind, What is my ship, my treasure,
my only homeland, the sea. what is my god freedom,
my law, the force and the wind,
my only homeland, the sea.
I am sentenced to death!
I laugh at you;

don't abandon me luck,


and to the same one who condemns me,
I will hang from some antenna,
perhaps on his own ship.
And if I fall,
What is life?
For loss
I've already said it,

when the yoke


of the slave,
like a brave one,
I shook.
What is my ship, my treasure,
what is my god freedom,
my law, the force and the wind,
my only homeland, the sea.
They are my better music
kites
the noise and tremor
from the shaken cables,
from the black sea the roars
and the roar of my cannons.
And of the thunder
to the violent sound,
and the wind
to re-bray,
I sleep.
calm
hushed
by the sea.
What is my ship, my treasure,
what is my god, freedom,
my law, the force and the wind,
my only homeland, the sea.
