Barrett's Privateers - Alestorm

Barrett's Privateers

Alestorm



Lyrics:
How I Wish I Was In Sherbrooke Now!
A letter of marque came from the king
To the scummiest vessel I'd ever seen

God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers

Oh, Elcid Barrett cried the town
How I Wish I Was In Sherbrooke Now!
For twenty brave men all fishermen who
Would make for him the Antelope's crew

God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers

The Antelope sloop was a sickening sight
How I Wish I Was In Sherbrooke Now!
She'd a list to the port and her sails in rags
And the cook in scuppers with the staggers and the jags

God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers

On the King's birthday we put to sea
How I Wish I Was In Sherbrooke Now!
We were 91 days to Montego Bay
Pumping like madmen all the way

God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers

On the 96th day we sailed again
How I Wish I Was In Sherbrooke Now!
When a bloody great Yankee hove in sight
With our cracked four pounders we made to fight

God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers

The Yankee lay low down with gold
How I Wish I Was In Sherbrooke Now!
She was broad and fat and loose in the stays
But to catch her took the Antelope two whole days

God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers

Ladies and gentlemen, mister Heri Joensen

Then at length we stood two cables away
How I Wish I Was In Sherbrooke Now!
Our cracked four pounders made an awful din
But with one fat ball the Yank stove us in

God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers

The Antelope shook and pitched on her side
How I Wish I Was In Sherbrooke Now!
Barrett was smashed like a bowl of eggs
And the Maintruck carried off both me legs

God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers

So here I lay in my 23rd year
How I Wish I Was In Sherbrooke Now!
It's been 6 years since we sailed away
And I just made Halifax yesterday

God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers

Letra:
¡Cómo me gustaría estar en Sherbrooke ahora!
Una carta de corso  del rey llegó
A la nave más miserable que jamás haya visto

¡Malditos sean todos!
Me dijeron que navegaríamos por el mar en busca de oro estadounidense.
No dispararíamos armas, no derramaríamos lágrimas.
Ahora soy un hombre roto en un muelle de Halifax
El último de los corsarios de Barrett.

Oh, Elcid Barrett lloró la ciudad
¡Cómo me gustaría estar en Sherbrooke ahora!
Por veinte hombres valientes, todos pescadores, quienes
Conformarían para él la tripulación del Antelope.

¡Malditos sean todos!
Me dijeron que navegaríamos por el mar en busca de oro estadounidense.
No dispararíamos armas, no derramaríamos lágrimas.
Ahora soy un hombre roto en un muelle de Halifax
El último de los corsarios de Barrett.

La demolición del Antelope era una visión enfermiza
¡Cómo me gustaría estar en Sherbrooke ahora!
Ella tenía una lista para el puerto y sus velas en harapos.
Y la cocinera llena de espuma con los tambaleos y las juergas.

¡Malditos sean todos!
Me dijeron que navegaríamos por el mar en busca de oro estadounidense.
No dispararíamos armas, no derramaríamos lágrimas.
Ahora soy un hombre roto en un muelle de Halifax
El último de los corsarios de Barrett.

En el cumpleaños del rey navegamos.
¡Cómo me gustaría estar en Sherbrooke ahora!
Estuvimos 91 días en Montego Bay
Bombeando como locos todo el camino.

¡Malditos sean todos!
Me dijeron que navegaríamos por el mar en busca de oro estadounidense.
No dispararíamos armas, no derramaríamos lágrimas.
Ahora soy un hombre roto en un muelle de Halifax
El último de los corsarios de Barrett.

En el día 96 navegamos de nuevo.
¡Cómo me gustaría estar en Sherbrooke ahora!
Cuando un gran yanqui  apareció a la vista
Con nuestros cañones peleamos

¡Malditos sean todos!
Me dijeron que navegaríamos por el mar en busca de oro estadounidense.
No dispararíamos armas, no derramaríamos lágrimas.
Ahora soy un hombre roto en un muelle de Halifax
El último de los corsarios de Barrett.

Los yanquis caen.
¡Cómo me gustaría estar en Sherbrooke ahora!
Era ancha, gorda y suelta de corsé.
Pero para atraparla el Antelope necesitó dos días enteros.

¡Malditos sean todos!
Me dijeron que navegaríamos por el mar en busca de oro estadounidense.
No dispararíamos armas, no derramaríamos lágrimas.
Ahora soy un hombre roto en un muelle de Halifax
El último de los corsarios de Barrett.

Señoras y señores, señor Heri Joensen

Luego, al fin, nos paramos a dos cables de distancia.
¡Cómo me gustaría estar en Sherbrooke ahora!
Nuestros cañones hicieron un ruido horrible
Pero con una gran bola, el yanqui nos detuvo.

¡Malditos sean todos!
Me dijeron que navegaríamos por el mar en busca de oro estadounidense.
No dispararíamos armas, no derramaríamos lágrimas.
Ahora soy un hombre roto en un muelle de Halifax
El último de los corsarios de Barrett.

El Antelope se sacudió y se inclinó de costado.
¡Cómo me gustaría estar en Sherbrooke ahora!
Barrett fue aplastado como un tazón de huevos
Y el Maintruck me quitó las dos piernas.

¡Malditos sean todos!
Me dijeron que navegaríamos por el mar en busca de oro estadounidense.
No dispararíamos armas, no derramaríamos lágrimas.
Ahora soy un hombre roto en un muelle de Halifax
El último de los corsarios de Barrett.

Así que aquí estoy en mi 23º  año.
¡Cómo me gustaría estar en Sherbrooke ahora!
Han pasado 6 años desde que partimos
Y llegué ayer a Halifax.

¡Malditos sean todos!
Me dijeron que navegaríamos por el mar en busca de oro estadounidense.
No dispararíamos armas, no derramaríamos lágrimas.
Ahora soy un hombre roto en un muelle de Halifax

El último de los corsarios de Barrett.

Invaders - Iron Maiden

Invaders Iron Maiden Lyrics: Longboats have been sighted the evidence of war has begun Many Nordic fighting men their swords and shields all gleam in the sun Call to arms defend yourselves get ready to stand and fight for your lives Judgement day has come around so be prepared don't run stand your ground They're coming in from the sea they've come the enemy beneath the blazing sun the battle has to be won Invaders ... Pillaging Invaders ... Looting Set ablaze the campfires alert the other men from inland Warning must be given there's not enough men here for a stand The Vikings are too many too powerful to take on our own We must have reinforcements we cannot fight this battle alone They're coming over the hill they've come to attack they're coming in for the kill there's no turning back Invaders ... Fighting Invaders ... Marauding Axes grind and maces clash as wounded fighters fall to the ground Severed li...

Still of The Night - Whitesnake

Still Of The Night Whitesnake Lyrics: In the still of the night I hear the wolf howl, honey Sniffing around your door In the still of the night I feel my heart beating heavy Telling me I gotta have more In the shadow of night I see the full moon rise Telling me what's in store My heart start aching My body start a shaking And I can't take no more Now I just wanna get close to you An' taste your love so sweet And I just wanna make love to you Feel your body heat In the still of the night In the still of the night Over here baby In the heat of the day , I hang my head down low And hide my face from the sun Through the light of the day Until the evening time I'm waiting for the night to come In the still of the night In the cool moonlight I feel heart is aching In the still of the night Tell me here baby! In the still of the night I hear the wolf howl, honey Sniffing around your door ...

Since You've Been Gone - Rainbow

Since You've Been Gone Rainbow Lyrics:   I get the same old dreams same time everynight Fall to the ground and I wake up So I get out of bed, put on my shoes and in my head Thoughts fly back to the breakup These four wall are closing in Look at the fix you put me in Since you been gone Since you been gone I'm out of my head can't take it Could I be wrong But since you been gone You cast your spell so break it Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Since you been gone So in the night I stand beneath the backstreet light I read the words that you sent to me I can take the afternoon, the night time comes around too soon You can't know what you mean to me Your poison letter, your telegram Just goes to show you don't give a damn Since you been gone Since you been gone I'm out of my head can't take it Could I be wrong But since you been gone You cast your spell so break it Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Since you been gone If you will come back ...
