A young boy I was, barely out of my home
I stepped to the world with a meaning to roam
I signed with a captain who promised me gold
And adventure to quicken the heart of the bold
A young boy I was, barely out of my home
I stepped to the world with a meaning to roam
I signed with a captain who promised me gold
And adventure to quicken the heart of the bold
For fourteen odd years I did struggle alone
For the cause I worked my fingers down to the bone
Saw naught but the scuppers, saw naught of my pay
Then was cast off and sent on my way
[Chorus]
A curse upon you! Sorrow fall thick and fast!
Your days have been numbered, each hour your last!
May the land, sea or sky turn to swallow you whole
And fore'er ne'er forget what you stole!
[Verse 2]
I found me some cohorts, the bravest and true
No captain was prouder to call such men crew
They could rally a cry and the battle was won
I'd face off a cannon if they but looked on
The mutinous dogs bound my hands while I slept
Swapped their honour for treasures and gold that we kept
Threw me over the side with all kindness I'd shown
Now I vow to sail always alone
[Chorus]
A curse upon you! Sorrow fall thick and fast!
Your days have been numbered, each hour your last!
May the land, sea or sky turn to swallow you whole
And fore'er ne'er forget what you stole!
[Verse 3]
I met a fair maiden one round upon shore
I fell for her smile as I'd ne'er done before
I pledged her my world for as long as I lived
I'd have offered her more if I had more to give
My pockets she emptied, still I offered the rest
She obliged and then ripped out the heart from my chest
She sent me adrift, free to float to world's end
With a bottle as my only friend
[Chorus]
A curse upon you! Sorrow fall thick and fast!
Your days have been numbered, each hour your last!
May the land, sea or sky turn to swallow you whole
And fore'er ne'er forget what you stole!
[Verse 4]
Now maybe there's some of you wondering hence
Not all parts of my life fit together with sense
If these are your thoughts, allow me to explain
Listen close now for I will not say it again
I curse you yourself with the doubts that you've shown!
For this is my life and I made it my own
Walk a path and you'll have your own stories in time
Till that day, I shall drink just to mine
[Chorus]
A curse upon you! Sorrow fall thick and fast!
Your days have been numbered, each hour your last!
May the land, sea or sky turn to swallow you whole
And fore'er ne'er forget what you stole!
Dječak sam bio, jedva iz moje kuće
Izašao sam na svijetu sa značenjem da lutaju
Potpisao sam s kapetanom koji mi je obećao zlato
A pustolovna ubrzati srce podebljano
Za četrnaest ak godina nisam boriti sama
Za uzrok radio sam prste do kosti
Pila ništa, ali te palubne rupe, pila ništa od moje plaće
Zatim je odbacio i poslao na moj način
[Hor]
Prokletstvo na vas! Tuga pada gust i brzo!
Vaši dani su numerirani, svaki sat je vaš posljednji!
Neka zemlja, more i nebo je red da vas progutati cijeli
I fore'er nikada zaboraviti ono što je ukrao!
[Redak 2]
Našao sam mi neke kohorte, najhrabriji i istinito
Ne kapetan bio prouder nazvati takve ljude posadu
Mogli rally krik i bitka je dobivena
Ja bih se suočiti s topa ako su već gledali
U pobunjenim psi vezani ruke dok sam spavao
Zamijeniti svoju čast za blagom i zlatom da mi čuva
Me bacio preko ograde sa svim dobrote bih ja pokazala
Sada sam zavjet ploviti uvijek sami
[Hor]
Prokletstvo na vas! Tuga pada gust i brzo!
Vaši dani su numerirani, svaki sat je vaš posljednji!
Neka zemlja, more i nebo je red da vas progutati cijeli
I fore'er nikada zaboraviti ono što je ukrao!
[Redak 3]
Upoznala sam pošteno djevojačko jedan krug nakon obali
Pao sam za nju osmijeh kao bih nikada učinio prije
obećao sam joj svijet dok sam živio
Ja bih joj ponudio više, ako sam imao više dati
Moje džepovi je ispraznila, još uvijek sam ponudio ostatak
Ona je dužna, a zatim iščupao srce iz mojih grudi
Poslala mi pluta, slobodno plutaju kraja svijeta
S bocom kao moj jedini prijatelj
[Hor]
Prokletstvo na vas! Tuga pada gust i brzo!
Vaši dani su numerirani, svaki sat je vaš posljednji!
Neka zemlja, more i nebo je red da vas progutati cijeli
I fore'er nikada zaboraviti ono što je ukrao!
[Redak 4]
Sada možda postoji neki od vas pitaju stoga
Nisu svi dijelovi mog života stane zajedno s osjećajem
Ako su vam misli, dopustite mi da objasnim
Slušaj blizu sada neću to ponoviti
Ja vas proklinju sami sa sumnjama koje ste prikazati!
Za to je moj život i ja sam ga moja
Šetnja put, a vi ćete imati svoje vlastite priče u vremenu
Do tog dana, ja ću piti samo moje
[Hor]
Prokletstvo na vas! Tuga pada gust i brzo!
Vaši dani su numerirani, svaki sat je vaš posljednji!
Neka zemlja, more i nebo je red da vas progutati cijeli
I fore'er nikada zaboraviti ono što je ukrao!
