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"

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"
