Testo The Bold Privateer - Peter Bellamy
Testo della canzone The Bold Privateer (Peter Bellamy), tratta dall'album The Maritime Suite: We Have Fed Our Sea for a Thousand Years (Songs of the Sea from the Saxons to the 19th Century)
Our boat is on the drift and our ship is on the waves
Farewell, my dearest jewel, for I can no longer stay
For our ship she lies a-waiting, so fare thee well, my dear
For I must go on board of this bold privateer
Well, there's no one can tell what grave hazards you must run
So many have been slain since the wars they first begun
And such bloody engagements and dangers, they draw near
With the loss of their sweet lives on this bold privateer
So grieve not, my dearest jewel, when I am out of sight
For I must go on board and right boldly will I fight
We will cut down the pride of the lofty monseer
We'll soon let him know she's a bold privateer
Well, since you are going may heaven smile on thee
May kind heaven protect you by the land or by the sea
May kind heaven protect you wherever you may steer
And send you safe home back again from this bold privateer
Well, the prizes we have taken, they are from France and Spain
And my true love at home shall have a good part of the same
When the wars, they are all over, I'll turn unto my dear
We'll bid adieu forever to this bold privateer
