Piratenlieder
Piratenlieder
Piratenlieder dürfen bei keiner Crew fehlen und gehören zu jeder Schiffsfeier der Seeräuber. Ein Piratenlied besteht meist aus mehreren Strophen, wobei der Captain die erste Strophe vorgibt. Piratenlieder gehören zu einer Flasche Rum, ohne ein gutes Piratenlied wäre Rum bestimmt nicht so lecker. Man sagt, dass Piratenlieder zu Flüchen gehören, denn wenn Piratenlieder als Klagelieder gesungen werden, wird die „Bitte“, die das Klagelied beinhaltet, wahr. Die Freibeuter singen Piratenlieder zu jeder Tages- und Nachtzeit, ohne diese Piratenlieder wäre eine Schiffsfahrt langweilig. In jedem Piratenfilm hört man die Korsaren, Piratenlieder singen. Berühmte Piratenlieder sind zum Beispiel „He´s a pirate“, dem Titelsong von Fluch der
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!
Captain Kidd ...Piratenlied
Traditional - Lyrics from Songs of American Sailormen, by Joanna Colcord
You captains bold and brave, hear our cries, hear our cries,
You captains bold and brave, hear our cries,
You captains brave and bold, tho' you seem uncontrolled
Don't for the sake of gold, lose your souls.
My name was Robert Kidd, when I sail'd, when I sail'd,
My name was Robert Kidd, when I sail'd,
My name was Robert Kidd, God's laws I did forbid,
And so wickedly I did, when I sail'd.
My parents taught me well, when I sail'd, when I sail'd,
My parents taught me well, when I sail'd,
My parents taught me well, to shun the gates of hell,
But against them I rebell'd, when I sail'd.
I cursed my father dear, when I sail'd, when I sail'd,
I cursed my father dear, when I sail'd,
I cursed my father dear, and her that did me bear,
And so wickedly did swear, when I sail'd.
I made a solemn vow, when I sail'd, when I sail'd,
I made a solemn vow, when I sail'd,
I made a solemn vow to God I would not bow,
Nor my self one prayer allow, as I sail'd.
I'd a Bible in my hand, when I sail'd, when I sail'd,
I'd a Bible in my hand, when I sail'd,
I'd a bible in my hand by my father's great command,
And sunk it in the sand, when I sail'd.
I murdered William Moore, as I sail'd, as I sail'd,
I murdered William Moore, as I sail'd,
I murdered William Moore, and left him in his gore,
Not many leagues from shore, as I sail'd.
And being cruel still, as I sail'd, as
I sail'd,
And being cruel still, as I sail'd,
And being cruel still, my gunner I did kill,
And his precious blood did spill, as I sail'd.
My mate was sick and died, as I sail'd, as I sail'd,
My mate was sick and died, as I sail'd,
My mate was sick and died, which me much terrified,
When he call'd me to his bedside, as I sail'd.
And unto me he did say, as I sail'd, as I sail'd,
And unto me he did say, as I sail'd,
And unto me he did say, take warning now by me,
There comes a reckoning day, you must die.
You cannot then withstand,, when you die, when you die,
You cannot the withstand, when you die,
You cannot then withstand the judgment of God's hand,
But bound then in iron bands you must die.
I was sick and nigh to death, as I sail'd, as I sail'd,
I was sick and nigh to death, as I sail'd,
I was sick and nigh to death, and I vow'd at every breath,
To walk in wisdom's ways, as I sail'd.
I thought I was undone, as I sail'd, as I sail'd,
I thought I was undone, as I sail'd,
I thought I was undone and my wicked glass had run,
But health did soon return, as I sail'd.
My repentance lasted not, as I sail'd, as I sail'd,
My repentance lasted not, as I sail'd,
My repentance lasted not, my vows I soon forgot,
Damnation's my just lot, as I sail'd.
I steer'd from sound to sound, as I sail'd, as I sail'd,
I steer'd from sound to sound, as I sail'd,
I steer'd from sound to sound and many ships I found
And most
of them I burned, as I sail'd.
I spy'd three ships from France, as I sail'd, as I sail'd,
I spy'd three ships from France, as I sail'd,
I spy'd three ships from France, to them I did advance,
And took them all by chance, as I sail'd.
I spy'd three ships of Spain, as I sail'd, as I sail'd,
I spy'd three ships of Spain, as I sail'd,
I spy'd three ships of Spain, I fired on them amain,
Till most of them were slain, as I sail'd.
I'd ninety bars of gold, as I sail'd, as I sail'd,
I'd ninety bars of gold, as I sail'd,
I'd ninety bars of gold and dollars manifold,
With riches uncontrolled, as I sail'd.
Then fourteen ships I saw, as I sail'd, as I sail'd,
Then fourteen ships I saw, as I sail'd,
Then fourteen ships I saw and brave men they were,
Ah! they were too much for me, as I sail'd.
Thus being o'ertaken at last, I must die, I must die,
Thus being o'ertaken at last, I must die,
Thus being o'ertaken at last, and into prison cast
And sentence being passed, I must die.
Farewell the raging main, I must die, I must die,
Farewell the raging main, I must die,
Farewell the raging main, to Turkey, France, and Spain,
I ne'er shall see you again, I must die.
To Newgate now I'm cast, and must die, and must die,
To Newgate now I'm cast, and must die,
To Newgate now I'm cast, with a sad and heavy heart,
To receive my just desert, I must die.
To Execution Dock I must go, I must go,
To Execution Dock I must go,
To Execution Dock will many thousand flock,
But I must bear the shock, I must die.
Come all you young and old, see me die, see me die,
Come all you young and old, see me die,
Come all you young and old, you're welcome to my gold,
For by it I've lost my soul, and must die.
Take warning now by me, for I must die, for I must die,
Take warning now by me, for I must die,
Take warning now by me, and shun bad company,
Lest you come to hell with me, for I must die.
