La Cancion Del Pirata II
Tierra Santa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Con diez cañones por banda
Viento en popa a toda vela
No corta el mar si no vuela
Un velero bergantín
Bajel pirata que llaman
Por su bravura el temido
En todo el mar conocido
Del uno al otro confín

La luna en el mar riela
En una lona gime el viento
Y al alza un blando movimiento
Olas de plata y azul
Y va el capitán pirata
Cantando alegre en la popa
Asia a un lado y al otra europa
Y allá su frente stambul

Navega velero mió
Sin temor que ni enemigo navío
Ni tormenta ni bonanza
Tu rumbo a torcer alcanza
Ni a sujetar tu valor
Veinte presas hemos hecho
A despecho del ingles
Y han rendido sus pendones
Cien naciones a mis pies

Que es mi barco mi tesoro
Que es mi dios mi libertad
Mi ley la fuerza y el viento
Mi única patria la mar

Allá muevan feroz guerras
Ciegos reyes por un palmo más de tierra
Que yo tengo aquí por mió
Cuanto abarca el mar bravío
Aquí nadie impuso leyes
Y no hay playa sea cualquiera
Ni bandera de esplendor
Que no sienta mi derecho
Y de pecho a mi valor

Que es mi barco mi tesoro
Que es mi dios mi libertad




Mi ley la fuerza y el viento
Mi única patria la mar
