Bancos de Newfoundland

Me bully boys of Liverpool I'll have you to beware

When you sail in them packet ships no dungaree jumpers wear

But have a good monkey jacket all ready to your hand

For there blow some cold nor'westers on the Banks of Newfoundland

We'll scrape her and we'll scrub her, with holystone and sand

For there blow some cold nor'westers on the Banks of Newfoundland

Well we had Jack Lynch from Ballynahinch, Mike Murphy and some more

And I tell you well, they suffered like hell on the way to Baltimore (to Baltimore!)

They pawned their gear in Liverpool, and sailed as they did stand

But there blow some cold nor'westers on the Banks of Newfoundland

We'll scrape her and we'll scrub her, with holystone and sand

For there blow some cold nor'westers on the Banks of Newfoundland

Well the mate he stood on the fo'c'sle head and loudly he did roar

Come rattle her in me lucky lads, you're bound for America's shore (America's shore)

Come wipe the blood off that dead man's face, and haul or you'll be damned

For there blow some cold nor'westers on the Banks of Newfoundland

We'll scrape her and we'll scrub her, with holystone and sand

For there blow some cold nor'westers on the Banks of Newfoundland

And now it's reef and reif, me boys, with the canvas frozen hard

At each mountain pass every mother's son, on a ninety-foot tops'l yard (tops'l yard!)

Never mind about boots or oilskins, but haul or you'll be damned

For there blow some cold nor'westers on the Banks of Newfoundland

We'll scrape her and we'll scrub her, with holystone and sand

For there blow some cold nor'westers on the Banks of Newfoundland

And now we're off the hook me boys, and the land is white with snow

And soon we'll see that paytable and we'll spend the whole night below (night below)

And on the docks, come down in flocks, them pretty girls will say

Well it's snugger with me than on the sea, on the Banks of Newfoundland

We'll scrape her and we'll scrub her, with holystone and sand

For there blow some cold nor'westers on the Banks of Newfoundland

We'll scrape her and we'll scrub her, with holystone and sand

For there blow some cold nor'westers on the Banks of Newfoundland

Meus rapazes de Liverpool, fiquem espertos

Quando navegarem nesses barcos, não usem macacão

Mas tenham um bom casaco à mão, prontos pra ação

Pois sopram frios ventos do noroeste nos Bancos de Newfoundland

Vamos esfregar e limpar, com pedra e areia

Pois sopram frios ventos do noroeste nos Bancos de Newfoundland

Bem, tivemos Jack Lynch de Ballynahinch, Mike Murphy e mais alguns

E posso te dizer, eles sofreram pra caramba a caminho de Baltimore (a caminho de Baltimore!)

Eles penhoraram suas coisas em Liverpool e zarparam como estavam

Pois sopram frios ventos do noroeste nos Bancos de Newfoundland

Vamos esfregar e limpar, com pedra e areia

Pois sopram frios ventos do noroeste nos Bancos de Newfoundland

Bem, o imediato estava na proa e gritou alto

Vamos lá, meus sortudos, vocês estão indo pra costa da América (costa da América)

Venham limpar o rosto daquele homem morto, e puxem ou vão se ferrar

Pois sopram frios ventos do noroeste nos Bancos de Newfoundland

Vamos esfregar e limpar, com pedra e areia

Pois sopram frios ventos do noroeste nos Bancos de Newfoundland

E agora é hora de reef e reif, meus meninos, com a vela congelada

Em cada passagem montanhosa, cada filho de mãe, em um mastro de 27 metros (mastro de 27 metros!)

Não se preocupem com botas ou capas de óleo, mas puxem ou vão se ferrar

Pois sopram frios ventos do noroeste nos Bancos de Newfoundland

Vamos esfregar e limpar, com pedra e areia

Pois sopram frios ventos do noroeste nos Bancos de Newfoundland

E agora estamos livres, meus meninos, e a terra está branca de neve

E logo veremos a tabela de pagamento e vamos passar a noite toda lá embaixo (noite lá embaixo)

E nos cais, elas vêm em bandos, aquelas garotas lindas vão dizer

Bem, é mais quentinho comigo do que no mar, nos Bancos de Newfoundland

Vamos esfregar e limpar, com pedra e areia

Pois sopram frios ventos do noroeste nos Bancos de Newfoundland

Vamos esfregar e limpar, com pedra e areia

Pois sopram frios ventos do noroeste nos Bancos de Newfoundland
