Though you see me now a mere ghost of a man Though you see me now a mere ghost of a man [Letra: Joe McQuade I once had the heart of a lion I once had the heart of a lion Commanded my ship between many a shore Commanded my ship between many a shore Embora agora você me veja como um mero fantasma de um homem The ol' Jolly Roger a-flyin The ol' Jolly Roger a-flyin Certa vez eu tive o coração de um leão Comandando meu navio, entre os muitos litorais Mine was a name that struck fear into men Mine was a name that struck fear into men A velha Jolly Roger em voo And regret into plenty of lasses And regret into plenty of lasses Oh, how I wish I could take back those days Oh, how I wish I could take back those days A minha tinha um nome que botava medo nos homens As I stare at these empty beer-glasses As I stare at these empty beer-glasses E desgosto em muitas moças Ah, como eu gostaria de poder ter de volta aqueles dias I think of the times past when I had it all I think of the times past when I had it all Enquanto eu olho para esses copos de cerveja vazios I toyed with men's wives and their daughters I toyed with men's wives and their daughters And in my pursuit of this ill-gotten wealth And in my pursuit of this ill-gotten wealth Eu penso nos tempos que se passaram quando eu tinha tudo I stabbed and I slashed and I slaughtered. I stabbed and I slashed and I slaughtered. Eu brincava com as esposas dos homens e com suas filhas E em minha busca por essas ilícitas riquezas And for what? And for what? Eu esfaqueei e eu rasguei e eu abati. The men that I've fought The men that I've fought Are matched by the number of women I've bought Are matched by the number of women I've bought E para quê? And for what? And for what? Os homens com que lutei I've killed and I've shot I've killed and I've shot Condizem com o número de mulheres que eu comprei And reddened the cold tears of children with blood And reddened the cold tears of children with blood E para quê? And If I could go back and make my amends And If I could go back and make my amends Eu matei e atirei I'd make all those mistakes again I'd make all those mistakes again E avermelhei as frias lágrimas de crianças com sangue I'd kill every last one of those bastards, my friend I'd kill every last one of those bastards, my friend E se eu pudesse voltar atrás e fazer minhas reparações Eu cometeria todos aqueles erros novamente My ship was the last sight that many would see My ship was the last sight that many would see E mataria até o último daqueles bastardos, meu amigo As we narrowed the gap with our quarry As we narrowed the gap with our quarry The sound of the cannons and splintering wood The sound of the cannons and splintering wood Meu navio foi a última visão que muitos veriam Would herald our paths into glory Would herald our paths into glory À medida que nós reduzíamos a diferença com nossa presa O som dos canhões e madeiras estilhaçadas We seized all the bounty and scuppered the ship We seized all the bounty and scuppered the ship Anunciou nossa passagem para a glória Our hearts hadn't time for the wounded Our hearts hadn't time for the wounded I took my share and the crew got the rest I took my share and the crew got the rest Nós apreendemos toda recompensa e aniquilamos o navio And on into port we then bounded And on into port we then bounded Nossos corações não tiveram tempo para nenhum dos feridos Eu levei a minha parte e a equipe obteve o resto Life has many pleasures, and we had our fill Life has many pleasures, and we had our fill E sobre o porto que nos foi vinculado Of food and of wenches and beer Of food and of wenches and beer When we'd tired of the port or had drunken it dry When we'd tired of the port or had drunken it dry A vida tem muitos prazeres e tínhamos nossos abastecimentos The time to set sail would come near The time to set sail would come near De alimentos e de prostitutas e cerveja Quando nos cansávamos do porto ou tínhamos que secar os bêbados And for what? And for what? O tempo para zarpar estaria perto de vir We heeded no law We heeded no law Made other men suffer so we could have more Made other men suffer so we could have more E para quê? And for what? And for what? Não damos ouvidos a nenhuma lei We lived every day We lived every day Fazíamos outros homens sofrerem para que pudéssemos ter mais With the noose of the hangman a hair's breadth away With the noose of the hangman a hair's breadth away E para quê? And If I could go back and make my amends And If I could go back and make my amends Vivemos todos os dias, I'd make all those mistakes again I'd make all those mistakes again Com a corda do carrasco a um milímetro de distância I'd kill every last one of those bastards, my friend I'd kill every last one of those bastards, my friend E se eu pudesse voltar atrás e fazer minhas reparações Eu cometeria todos aqueles erros novamente Oh I have seen wonders you'd never have dreamed, Oh I have seen wonders you'd never have dreamed, E mataria até o último daqueles bastardos, meu amigo And taken my fair share, I must say And taken my fair share, I must say Holds full of booty I happily seized Holds full of booty I happily seized Oh, eu tenho visto maravilhas que você nunca sonhou, From crews who would not see a new day From crews who would not see a new day E tomada a minha cota justa, eu devo dizer Mantenho-a cheia de saques que eu felizmente apreendi Spanish gold came and went, gem stones got sold, Spanish gold came and went, gem stones got sold, De tripulações que não iriam ver um novo dia But I knew more lay on the horizon, But I knew more lay on the horizon, Yet the beer was too good and the gals were too sweet Yet the beer was too good and the gals were too sweet O ouro espanhol veio e se foi, e pedras preciosas foram vendidas, And now in my old age it's gone And now in my old age it's gone Mas eu sabia que havia mais no horizonte, No entanto, a cerveja era muito boa e as moças eram muito meigas These memories were bought with the lives of good men These memories were bought with the lives of good men E agora em minha velhice, isso se foi A price that I paid without scruple A price that I paid without scruple So many souls suffered so I could get drunk So many souls suffered so I could get drunk Estas memórias foram adquiridas com as vidas de homens bons And swagger from brothel to brothel And swagger from brothel to brothel Um preço que eu pago sem escrúpulos Assim tantos sofreram para que eu pudesse ficar bêbado And for what? And for what? E me vangloriando de bordel em bordel It's been many years It's been many years Yet the screams of the vanquished still ring in my ears Yet the screams of the vanquished still ring in my ears E para quê? And for what? And for what? Já faz muitos anos I've blood on my hands I've blood on my hands No entanto, os gritos dos vencidos ainda soam em meus ouvidos I wait for my place in the halls of the damned I wait for my place in the halls of the damned E para quê? And If I could go back and make my amends And If I could go back and make my amends Eu tenho sangue em minhas mãos I'd make all those mistakes again I'd make all those mistakes again Eu espero pelo meu lugar na sala dos condenados I'd kill every last one of those bastards, my friend I'd kill every last one of those bastards, my friend E se eu pudesse voltar atrás e fazer minhas reparações Eu cometeria todos aqueles erros novamente
