Piratenlieder
Piratenlieder |
Karibik, oder „Hisst die Flagge“ einem Klagelied der Piraten. Ein altes Piratenlied ist ebenfalls „Fifteen Men an a bottle of rum“. Piratenfilme gibt es schon seit 1926 und natürlich dürfen bei jedem Film die Piratenlieder nicht fehlen. Piratenlieder können aus Freude, Hass oder Trauer gesungen werden. Einige der berühmtesten Piraten waren zum Beispiel Sir Francis Drake, Edward Teach, Anne Bonney und Klaus Störtebeker, für sie alle waren Piratenlieder nicht weg zu denken. Eine Schatzjagd wurde erst so richtig spannend, wenn Piratenlieder von den Seeräubern gesungen wurden. Die „Golden Hind“, die „Revenge“ oder die „Blessing“ waren einige der berühmtesten Piratenschiffe, auf Ihnen sang man Stundenlang, oft auch Tagelang Piratenlieder. Man sagt wer kein Piratenlied singen kann, ist auch kein Pirat. Also ran ans üben, wenn ihr Pirat sein wollt!!! |

15 Mann auf der Totenmannskiste ...Piratenlied Original
Yo Ho, Ho! (And A Bottle Of Rum)
Fifteen men on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
The mate was fixed by the bosun's pike
The bosun brained with a marlinspike
And cookey's throat was marked belike
It had been gripped by fingers ten;
And there they lay, all good dead men
Like break o'day in a boozing ken.
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
Fifteen men of the whole ship's list
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Dead and be damned and the rest gone whist!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
The skipper lay with his nob in gore
Where the scullion's axe his cheek had shore
And the scullion he was stabbed times four
And there they lay, and the soggy skies
Dripped down in up-staring eyes
In murk sunset and foul sunrise
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Fifteen men of 'em stiff and stark
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Ten of the crew had the murder mark!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers' glut with a rotting red
And there they lay, aye, damn my eyes
Looking up at paradise
All souls bound just contrariwise
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Fifteen men of 'em good and true
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Ev'ry man jack could ha' sailed with Old Pew,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
There was chest on chest of Spanish gold
With a ton of plate in the middle hold
And the cabins riot of stuff untold,
And they lay there that took the plum
With sightless glare and their lips struck dumb
While we shared all by the rule of thumb,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! More was seen through a sternlight screen...
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Chartings undoubt where a woman had been
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
'Twas a flimsy shift on a bunker cot
With a dirk slit sheer through the bosom spot
And the lace stiff dry in a purplish blot
Oh was she wench or some shudderin' maid
That dared the knife and took the blade
By God! she had stuff for a plucky jade
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Fifteen men on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
We wrapped 'em all in a mains'l tight
With twice ten turns of a hawser's bight
And we heaved 'em over and out of sight,
With a Yo-Heave-Ho! and a fare-you-well
And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell
Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
|
I sail'd, |
of them I burned, as I sail'd. |
