El Ballenero

Wellerman

Un barco una vez quiso navegarThere once was a ship that put to sea
Y su nombre era la tetera del marAnd the name of that ship was the Billy of Tea
El viento sopló y su proa hundióThe winds blew hard, her bow dipped down
Remar, chicos a remarBlow, my bully boys, blow

Pronto el ballenero vendráSoon may the Wellerman come
Y azúcar y té y ron traeráTo bring us sugar and tea and rum
Cuando cese nuestro cantarOne day, when the tonguin' is done
Será hora de zarparWe'll take our leave and go

Tras una quincena en altamarShe had not been two weeks from shore
Con una ballena se fue a toparWhen down on her a right whale bore
El capitán se hizo jurarThe captain called all hands and swore
Que caza le iba darHe'd take that whale in tow

Pronto el ballenero vendráSoon may the wellerman come
Y azúcar y té y ron traeráTo bring us sugar and tea and rum
Cuando cese nuestro cantarOne day, when the tonguin' is done
Será hora de zarparWe'll take our leave and go

Antes de golpear el marBefore the boat had hit the water
La ballena emergió y la pudo atraparThe whale's tail came up and caught her
Luchó con sus manos y un arpónAll hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
Pero la ballena huyóWhen she dived down below

Pronto el ballenero vendráSoon may the wellerman come
Y azúcar y té y ron traeráTo bring us sugar and tea and rum
Cuando cese nuestro cantarOne day, when the tonguin' is done
Será hora de zarparWe'll take our leave and go

La lucha sigue entre los dosNo line was cut, no whale was freed
Aunque el capitán no es fanfarrónThe captain's mind was not on greed
Su credo es tener valorBut he belonged to the whaleman's creed
Y a ella se aferróShe took the ship in tow

Pronto el ballenero vendráSoon may the Wellerman come
Y azúcar y té y ron traeráTo bring us sugar and tea and rum
Cuando cese nuestro cantarOne day, when the tonguin' is done
Será hora de zarparWe'll take our leave and go

Cuarenta días pasan yaFor forty days, or even more
Y la justa no hace más que aumentarThe line went slack, then tight once more
No hay barcos en el más alláAll boats were lost, there were only four
Y ella no va a pararBut still that whale did go

Pronto el ballenero vendráSoon may the Wellerman come
Y azúcar y té y ron traeráTo bring us sugar and tea and rum
Cuando cese nuestro cantarOne day, when the tonguin' is done
Será hora de zarparWe'll take our leave and go

Dicen las malas lenguasAs far as I've heard, the fight's still on
Que la batalla todavía sigue en pieThe line's not cut and the whale's not gone
Y el ballenero clamaráThe Wellerman makes his regular call
¡Coraje al capitán!To encourage the captain, crew and all

Pronto el ballenero vendráSoon may the wellerman come
Y azúcar y té y ron traeráTo bring us sugar and tea and rum
Cuando cese nuestro cantarOne day, when the tonguin' is done
Será hora de zarparWe'll take our leave and go

Pronto el ballenero vendráSoon may the wellerman come
Y azúcar y té y ron traeráTo bring us sugar and tea and rum
Cuando cese nuestro cantarOne day, when the tonguin' is done
Será hora de zarparWe'll take our leave and go
