- The Pirate's Bride Lyrics / with translationsPIRATE'S BRIDE
Sometimes in the light, at the edge of the world,
Is the ghost of a ship with its black sail furled,
And night after night, she would stand by the shore,
And dream of the love that she knew before
Refrain 1 The tide rolls out, the tide rolls in, without a thought for the
ways of men
We set sail for the Western Maine, to rob the ships
Of the Queen of Spain, and she would be his pirate's bride,
She gave him the pistol, and the sword at his side
Refrain 2 The tide rolls out, the tide rolls in, without a care for the
ways of men
I'd give three ships of Spanish gold, to see my love again
Full fathom five, my true love lies, no fine wooden casket,
no gold in his eyes, where is the glory, where is the pride,
Where is the joy for this Pirate's Bride?
Refrain 2
Here in the light at the edge of the world,
He waits for a ship with its black sail furled,
And day after day, he would stand on the shore,
And dream of the life that he knew before,
Refrain 2
I'd give three ships of Spanish gold, to see my love again
Sometimes in the light, at the edge of the world,
Is the ghost of a ship with its black sail furled,
And night after night, she would stand by the shore,
And dream of the love that she knew before
Refrain 1 The tide rolls out, the tide rolls in, without a thought for the
ways of men
We set sail for the Western Maine, to rob the ships
Of the Queen of Spain, and she would be his pirate's bride,
She gave him the pistol, and the sword at his side
Refrain 2 The tide rolls out, the tide rolls in, without a care for the
I'd give three ships of Spanish gold, to see my love again
Full fathom five, my true love lies, no fine wooden casket,
no gold in his eyes, where is the glory, where is the pride,
Where is the joy for this Pirate's Bride?
Refrain 2
Here in the light at the edge of the world,
He waits for a ship with its black sail furled,
And day after day, he would stand on the shore,
And dream of the life that he knew before,
Refrain 2
I'd give three ships of Spanish gold, to see my love again
