Whose whistle you played oh old ship
All your adventure has to do with a higher wave
Because I just jumped up why teasing the clouds
Sky seems the blood of the sea
Oh old ship whose whistle you played with the breeze
Put a mirror for your deck in rainy days
Till as if it can dazzle the eyes of a seagull, turn it to the captain
Yet dump the carcasses of the sailors far away
Danger stays both inside and under the ribs
Grease your propeller with the milk of a mermaid for this
Change your course a bit towards God
Then carry on old ship carry on playing the whistle…
