These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
I marinai foglie di coca digeriscono in coperta
Sailors coca leaves digest on deck
Il capitano ha un'amore al collo venuto apposta dall'inghilterra
The captain has a love around his neck who came specially from England
Il pasticcere di via roma sta scendendo le scale
The pastry chef in Via Roma is going down the stairs
Ogni dozzina di gradini trova una mano da pestare
Every dozen steps he finds a hand to beat
Ha una frusta giocattolo sotto l'abito da tè
She has a toy whip under her tea dress
E la radio di bordo è una sfera di cristallo
And the on-board radio is a crystal ball
Dice che il vento si farà lupo il mare si farà sciacallo
He says the wind will make wolf the sea will become jackal
Il paralitico tiene in tasca un uccellino blu cobalto
Paralytic holds cobalt blue bird in his pocket
Ride con gli occhi al circo togni quando l'acrobata sbaglia il salto
He laughs with his eyes at the togni circus when the acrobat misses the jump
E le ancore hanno perduto la scommessa e gli artigli
And the anchors lost the bet and the claws
I marinai uova di gabbiano piovono sugli scogli
Sailors seagulls rain on rocks
Il poeta metodista ha spine di rosa nelle zampe
The Methodist poet has rose thorns in his paws
Per far pace con gli applausi per sentirsi più distante
To make peace with applause to feel more distant
La sua stella sì e oscurata da quando ha vinto la gara del sollevamento pesi
His star has been blacked out since he won the weightlifting race
E con uno schiocco di lingua parte il cavo dalla riva
And with a snap of tongue starts the cable from the shore
Ruba l'amore del capitano attorcigliandole la vita
Steal the captain's love by twisting her life
Il macellaio mani di seta si è dato un nome da battaglia
Silk hands butcher gave himself a battle name
Tiene fasciate dentro il frigo nove mascelle antiguerriglia
Keeps nine anti-warrior jaws wrapped inside the fridge
Ha un grembiule antiproiettile tra il giornale e il gilè
He's got a bulletproof apron between the paper and the guild
E il pasticciere e il poeta e il paralitico e la sua coperta
And the pastry chef and the poet and the paralytic and his blanket
Si ritrovarono sul molo con sorrisi da cruciverba
They found themselves on the pier with crossword smiles
A sorseggiarsi il capitano che si sparava negli occhi
Sipping the captain who shot himself in the eye
E il pomeriggio a dimenticarlo con le sue pipe e i suoi scacchi
And in the afternoon to forget him with his pipes and chess
E si fiutarono compatti nei sottintesi e nelle azioni
And they sniffed compactly in the understives and actions
Contro ogni sorta di naufragi o di altre rivoluzioni
Against all sorts of shipwrecks or other revolutions
E il macellaio mani di seta distribuì le munizioni
And the butcher's silk hands distributed the ammunition
