"A Good Pirate is a Dead Pirate" [2004]

Song: Knyazev (text), Gorsheniov (music, lead vocal), Leontiev (music)

Knyaz: Once upon a time, in the Caribbean Sea, we captured a frigate. We got it without fight – we rejoiced! We did not bother with questions why there was not a single sailor, which would have been hiding somewhere in the mist. Then there came those jolly days: the devil has jested with us harshly – very soon, we found out that the ship was cursed!

Gorshok: Indeed, I cannot help but smile: I often remember how the Dutch wounded me to death for the first time. I prepared to die – I fell and closed my eyes, but I did not see the death!

The Jolly Roger is in the skies, the British coat of arms is on the body! The crowd of thug is shooting from their guns. They do not fear death. Deft as devils, they pride themselves upon the captain!

We stayed on the French ground, and they welcomed us with steel. Within four days, I was killed nine or ten times. When the Spaniards captured and executed us at the fortress walls, then, in the darkness among the rocks, I was searching for my skull in bushes for some time.

The Jolly Roger is in the skies, the British coat of arms is on the body! The crowd of thug is shooting from their guns. They do not fear death. Deft as devils, they pride themselves upon the captain!

The Portuguese tried to hang us, but they could not – we were swinging back and forth, and laughed – so, we spent the time very cool! Although I am an English pirate, I am not pleased to see the ships of Britain. Last time, a shot hit my stomach – I was collecting myself by pieces for about a year! Oh, my poor stomach!

We were burning and drowning, but survived every time: neither swords, nor knives or bullets, could finish us up!

Pray, buddy, to succeed in sailing out of here and save yourself the day you see us!
