Текст песни New York Trader (The Imagined Village) с переводом

To a new york trader I did belong

she was built for sea both stout and strong

well rigged, well manned and fit for seas

she was bound for New York and Americi.

the captain in his cabin lay

neptune came to him and this did say

prepare yoursel for mutiny

for tomorrow night you shall lay with me

The captain woke up all in a fright

it was the first watch of the night

for the bosun he an alarm did cry

he telled a story that plagued his mind

I killed my wife and my children three

through strong and violent jealousy

on my best friend I laid the blame

and I watched him hang on the gallows frame

At these words at great storm did rise

which did the mariners all surprise

the sea rose up above our heads

which filled those mariners hearts with dread

The bosun then he did declare

our captain was a murderer

the storm enraged the frightened crew

that overboard the murderer threw

and all around a great calm was there

our wounded ship for the the man did steer

the wind did drop and calm the sea

and we sailed safe for Americi
