And that's why we're thinking
That's why we're drinking
In a bar under the sea

You're a liar, said the last whore
Mine's the biggest of all
A fleet sailed in on the first of June
And didn't come back till fall

Now let ev'ry man drink off his full bumper,
And let ev'ry man drink off his full glass;
We'll drink and be jolly and drown melancholy,
And here's to the health of each true-hearted lass.

~ "Spanish ladies" (traditional)

I rose to the smell of a wet desert hell
and I thought to myself, how'd I wind up in this jail?
Till a voice called to me from deep within the sea:
“Dry your eyes, my little fisherman, your ass belongs to me.”
The sea is a cruel mistress.

~ Flogging Molly, "Cruel mistress"

Starboard


August 2012, Navy Museum, Lisbon

Quisiera morir cantando sobre de un barco leñero
Y cultivar en sus aguas un libro mas justiciero
Con letras de oro que diga "No hay padre para el isleño"
Llorando estoy - Ni viento pa su leñero, me voy me voy


~ Violetta Parra, "Según el favor del viento"

We wrapped them all in a mainsail tight
with twice ten turns of a hawser's bight
And we heaved them over and out of sight
 
with a yo-heave-ho and a fare-ye-well
and a sudden plunge in the sullen swell,
ten fathoms deep on the road to hell
 
Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum
  
~ Abney Park, "The Derelict"
