A Salty Dog [French translation]

All hands on deck

We're all afloat

I heard the captain cry

Explore the ship

Replace the cook

Let no one leave alive

Across the straits

Around the Horn

How far can sailors fly

The twisted path

Our tortured course

And no left alive

We sailed for parts

Unknown to man

Where ships come home to die

No lofty peak

No fortress bold

Could match our captain's eye

Upon the seventh

Seasick day

We made our port of call

The sun so white

And the sea so blue

No mortal place at all

We fired the gun

And burned the mast

And rode from ship to shore

The captain cried

We sailors wept

But our tears were tears of joy

How many moons

And how many Junes

Have passed since we made love

A salty dog

And a seaman's log

Your witness my own pain
