Aurelio Voltaire - The Beast of Pirate's Bay [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Gather weary traveler, i have a tale to tell
It might just save your life but only if you listen well
There before the breakers and just along the way
There's a sign. it says: "BEWARE!: The Beast of Pirate's Bay!"

Some say he's a guppy some kid threw in the sea
He ate so many sailors now he's bigger than a tree
His teeth as sharp as scissors his claws they are like knives
And if you think he's ugly? Wait 'till you see his insides!

Oh don't you sail and don't you row and certainly don't you swim
Cause if you aren't careful you'll end up inside of him
He'll eat you up and spit you out so you better stay away
Heed the sign that says: "BEWARE!: The Beast of Pirate's Bay!"

Some say he's a serpent who came straight from hell
To eat the souls of pirates and other ne'er-do-wells
Some they dont believe it. As for me? I got a hunch
Because there used to be some pirates here... Till he ate them all for lunch!

Oh don't you sail and don't you row and certainly don't you swim
Cause if you aren't careful you'll end up inside of him
He'll eat you up and spit you out so you better stay away
Heed the sign that says: "BEWARE!: The Beast of Pirate's Bay!"

Captain Hook, ya heard of him? He came to Pirate's Bay
It seems his little Nemesis, nearly got away
He reached into the water to grab at Peter Pan
There was a crunch and a scream! and now that scurvy captain's got hooks on both his hands!

Oh don't you sail and don't you row and certainly don't you swim
Cause if you aren't careful you'll end up inside of him
He'll eat you up and spit you out so you better stay away
Heed the sign that says: "BEWARE!: The Beast of Pirate's Bay!"

Blackbeard the Pirate. Ya know for what he's feared?
It's mostly for that dark imposing color of his beard
He saw the beast and now nobody's scared of him because
His beard turned white and all agree: He looks like Santa Claus!

Oh don't you sail and don't you row and certainly don't you swim
Cause if you aren't careful you'll end up inside of him
He'll eat you up and spit you out so you better stay away
Heed the sign that says: "BEWARE!: The Beast of Pirate's Bay!"

Well now the tavern's empty and there's only you and me
And, if you care, i'd like to share how this song came to be
So come a little closer if you really want to know
This very sad and woeful tale that happened so long ago
Well i was just a little boy when i went to Pirate's bay
And there i saw a creature that was very much dismayed
With a harpoon in his dorsal fin and a hook stuck in his side
This mighty whale was in such pain we both began to cry
I pushed and i shoved but he would not give way
Into the deeper waters of our shallow Pirate's Bay
All i could do to help him was to keep people away
So i wrote a sign...it said: "BEWARE: The Beast of Pirate's Bay!"

Oh don't you sail and don't you row
And certainly don't you swim
Cause if you aren't careful you'll end up inside of him
He'll eat you up and spit you out so you better stay away
Heed the sign that says: "BEWARE!: "
Hell, i should know! I put it there!
Heed the sign that says:
"BEWARE: The Beast of Pirate's Bay!"
