WELLERMAN / SLOVA / PŘEKLAD
Jednou byla loď, která se vydala na moře
There once was a ship that put to sea
A název té lodi byl Billy o 'Tea
And the name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea
Větry silně foukaly a její luk klesl dolů
The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down
Foukejte, tyrani chlapci, foukejte (huh)
Blow, me bully boys, blow (huh)

Brzy může Wellerman přijít
Soon may the Wellerman come
Aby nám přinesli cukr, čaj a rum
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
Jednoho dne, když bude jazyk hotový
One day, when the tonguing' is done
Vezmeme si dovolenou a půjdeme
We'll take our leave and go...

Nebyla dva týdny od břehu
She had
not been two weeks from shore
Když na ni dolehla pravá velryba
When down on her a right whale bore
Kapitán zavolal všechny ruce a zaklel
The captain called all hands and swore
Vzal by tu velrybu do vleku (hm)
He'd take that whale in tow (huh)

Než loď narazila do vody
Before the boat had hit the water
Velrybí ocas se zvedl a chytil ji
The whale's tail came up and caught her
Všechny ruce stranou, harpunou a bojovaly s ní
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
Když se ponořila dolů (huh)
When she dived down below (huh)

Žádná šňůra nebyla přerušena, žádná velryba osvobozena
No line was cut, no whale
was freed
Mysl kapitána nebyla na chamtivosti
An' the captain's mind was not on greed
Ale patřil k víru Whalemana
But he belonged to the Whaleman's creed
Vzala tu loď v závěsu (hm)
She took that ship in tow (huh)

Čtyřicet dní nebo i více (ooh)
For forty days or even more (ooh)
Šňůra se uvolnila a znovu se napnula
The line went slack then tight once more
Všechny lodě byly ztraceny, byly jen čtyři
All boats were lost, there were only four
A přesto ta velryba skutečně šla
And still that whale did go

Pokud jsem slyšel, boj stále pokračuje
As far as I've heard, the fight's still on
Šňůra se neřízne a velryba nezmizí
The line's not cut, and the whale's not gone
Wellerman pravidelně telefonuje
The Wellerman makes his regular call
Povzbudit kapitána, posádku a všechny
To encourage the captain, crew and all
