With ten cannons per side*
Sternwind, under full sail,
It does not cut the sea, but flies
A brig sailboat.
Pirate ship they call,
For his bravery, The Feared,
In every known sea
From one border to the other.
Sail, my sailboat
Without fear,
Let not even an enemy ship
Neither storm, nor bonanza
Your course is not enough to twist,
Nor to hold your courage.
Twenty preys
We have made
In spite
Of English
And they have surrendered
Their banners
A hundred nations
At my feet.
That is my ship my treasure,
That is my god freedom,
My law, the force and the wind,
My only homeland, the sea.
The moon in the sea shimmers
The wind moans on the canvas,
And rises in soft movement
Waves of silver and blue;
And goes the pirate captain,
Singing happily in the stern,
Asia on one side, Europe on the other,
And there in front of you Istanbul:
There; move fierce war
Blind kings
For one more inch of land;
That I here; I have as mine
How much the wild sea covers,
To whom no one imposed laws.
And there is no beach,
Be it anyone,
No flag
Of splendor,
Let him not feel
My right
And give breasts to my courage.
In the preys
I divide
what is taken
equally ;
I only want it
for wealth
beauty
without rival.
That my ship is my treasure,
that freedom is my god,< br/>my law, the force and the wind,
my only homeland, the sea.
I am sentenced to death!
I laugh no
let my luck not abandon me,
and the same person who condemns me,
I will hang from some antenna,
perhaps; in his own ship.
And if I fall,
what is life?
For lost
I have already given it,
when the yoke
of the slave,
like a brave man,
I shook.
And from the thunder
to the violent sound,
and from the wind
to roaring,
I fall asleep
calm,
lulled
by the sea.
That is my ship, my treasure,
that is my god, freedom,
my law, strength and the wind,
my only homeland, the sea
