| I was sitting in an old-school pub
| Estaba sentado en un pub de la vieja escuela
|
| My memories and me
| Mis recuerdos y yo
|
| A lot of drinks, a lot of songs
| Muchos tragos, muchas canciones
|
| The next round was for free
| La siguiente ronda fue gratis.
|
| A man was sitting next to me
| Un hombre estaba sentado a mi lado
|
| His hair was long and grey
| Su cabello era largo y gris.
|
| He’d lost one eye
| había perdido un ojo
|
| One wodden leg and he had much to say
| Una pierna de madera y tenía mucho que decir
|
| He smoked a lot of cigarrettes
| El fumaba muchos cigarros
|
| His voice was rough and deep
| Su voz era áspera y profunda.
|
| So many scars upon his face
| Tantas cicatrices en su rostro
|
| His skin was thick and weak
| Su piel era gruesa y débil.
|
| He was the old buccaneer and he said:
| Era el viejo bucanero y dijo:
|
| «My friend, come on over, lend an ear»
| «Amigo mío, ven, échame un oído»
|
| He was the old buccaneer
| Era el viejo bucanero
|
| My friend, come on over, lend an ear
| Mi amigo, ven, presta un oído
|
| He told me stories 'bout his life
| Me contó historias sobre su vida
|
| So many fights and girls
| Tantas peleas y chicas
|
| So many kisses
| tantos besos
|
| So much booze and so much gold and pearls
| Tanto alcohol y tanto oro y perlas
|
| He looked upon a yellowed map
| Miró un mapa amarillento
|
| His fingers on a place
| Sus dedos en un lugar
|
| He said: «This is my gift to you»
| Él dijo: «Este es mi regalo para ti»
|
| And looked into my face
| Y me miró a la cara
|
| He was the old buccaneer and he said:
| Era el viejo bucanero y dijo:
|
| «My friend, come on over, lend an ear»
| «Amigo mío, ven, échame un oído»
|
| He was the old buccaneer
| Era el viejo bucanero
|
| My friend, come on over, lend an ear
| Mi amigo, ven, presta un oído
|
| So we went on
| Así que continuamos
|
| The whole night through
| toda la noche
|
| We drank from dusk till dawn
| Bebimos desde el anochecer hasta el amanecer
|
| As I woke up
| Como me desperté
|
| The sky went blue
| el cielo se puso azul
|
| The grey old man was gone
| El anciano gris se había ido
|
| I lay beside the kitchen door
| Me acosté junto a la puerta de la cocina.
|
| My head was sick and weird
| Mi cabeza estaba enferma y rara
|
| His words remained inside my mind
| Sus palabras quedaron dentro de mi mente
|
| — So cruel, beloved and feared
| — Tan cruel, amada y temida
|
| He was the old buccaneer and he said:
| Era el viejo bucanero y dijo:
|
| «My friend, come on over, lend an ear»
| «Amigo mío, ven, échame un oído»
|
| He was the old buccaneer
| Era el viejo bucanero
|
| My friend, come on over, lend an ear
| Mi amigo, ven, presta un oído
