Fire Maringo.Любителям шанти.

Если корабль перевозит хлопок, то на нем стоит быть осторожным с огнем.

То есть песня не столько пиратская, сколько моряцкая-повседневная.

Watch on YouTube

Lift him up and carry him along,

Fire Maringo , fire him away,

Put him down where he belongs,

Fire Maringo , fire him away!



Ease him down and let him lay,

Fire Maringo , fire him away,

Screw him in and there he'll stay.

Fire Maringo , fire him away!



Put him in his hole below,

Fire Maringo , fire him away,

Stay he must and then he'll go.

Fire Maringo , fire him away!



When I get back to Liverpool town,

Fire Maringo , fire him away,

I'll toss a line to little Sally Brown.

Fire Maringo , fire him away!



I'll haul her high and haul her low,

Fire Maringo , fire him away,

I'll bust her blocks and make her go.

Fire Maringo , fire him away!



Sally is a pretty little craft,

Fire Maringo , fire him away,

Hot shot to the fore and rounded in the aft.

Fire Maringo , fire him away!



Screw the cotton screw him down,

Fire Maringo , fire him away,

Let's get the hell back to Liverpool town.

Fire Maringo , fire him away!

Нормально всё готовили.
А в данной песне "fire!" означает что-то типа нашего "жарь!", и к огню отношения не имеет.
